Title: "Yule"
Pairing: F/S
Rating: PG13

A candle burns on the kitchen table

Snow sweeps the world from

end to end outside.

Little tom-tits chattering and singing

like Sam does

when he’s working.

Sam.

He always makes my home

to our home…

The lovely arranged red apples

in the bowl on the counter …

white candles placed on the

mantelpiece …

flickering flames casting shadows

on the walls.

There’s the little wooden horse

my father made for me

many years ago.

It’s the time of the year I miss

my parents the most…

Even after all these years.

 

But this Yule it’s different,

This Yule I’m not alone anymore,

This Yule I have somebody to hold …

 

Looking around again …

Sam did a wonderful job,

All seems so peaceful and bright …

Fir cones cracking cheerful in

the chimney …

I’m looking at Bilbo’s picture

Dear old Bilbo…

 

I remember our first Yule.

Never will I forget what you did

For me … not only this very first Yule

But all my life…

 

Now he’s at the market

Looking for a Christmas tree

He said.

This makes me smile.

I remember the first Christmas tree

We had here at Bag End.

I remember it had the fragrance

of pine…

Bilbo put the whitest and fairest

angel hair on it,

ornaments he got from the Elves –

(so he said)…

silver shining little figurines

and stars…

 

Now my Sam is back.

Looking at him …

I remember the first kiss we shared

My Sam and I…

The kiss that began and ended

each second.

 

I don’t need stars and figurines

or angel’s hair…

 

Yule has the charm of life.

Life has the charm

of Sam.

Ooooh, that is so warm and Christmassy, just like the banner, Julchen. :)

Such a wonderful, mellow, Christmassy poem! I could feel the warmth of Bag End's kitchen, contrasted with the snowy cold outside. But warmest of all are our two snuggly hobbits! ♥

I'm sure Frodo had many lonely Yules after his parents died, before and after Bilbo came into his life. It's nice to know he now has Sam to make a warm, loving Yule.
I don’t need stars and figurines
or angel’s hair…

Yule has the charm of life.
Life has the charm
of Sam.
I love this.

You make me blush, addie! And you make me smile...
I'm so glad you like it, my dear. God I was so nervous posting this because it was the one I had to write Thursday night ... my cats ate the first poem! It seems they love the F/Steivities as much as I do *giggles*

Love and hugs,
Julchen

Silly kitties! I'm glad they love the F/Stivities too.

Awwww, I really really enjoyed this! It was sooo full of the knowledge that Frodo is happy now. I loved the memories and what Bilbo did for him, but most of all I loved that Sam is there with him, making him so happy and stopping him from being alone.

This was sooo lovely and so full of the Christmas spirit! Thank you for a wonderful contribution to the Yule Love F/Stivities! *hugs*

Snow sweeps the world from

end to end outside.


Brr, it's cold! Please may I stay with you in Bag End this Yule? What an enchanting place to be, where all is comfort and full of memory, tender and true.

I love Bilbo here:

Bilbo put the whitest and fairest

angel hair on it,

ornaments he got from the Elves –

(so he said)…

silver shining little figurines

and stars…


I can just picture him, charming his young nephew with wonders and delights to take away his sorrow.

Thank you, Julchen. This has the warmth of Sam and the grace of Frodo. They are singing together as they hang the ornaments on the tree.

Awww, thank you so much for your lovingly words, sweetie.
Wouldn't it be nice we could spend Yule at Bag End ? together with our beloved hobbits of course...
*hugs tight*

What a beautiful glimpse into Frodo's heart. So festive, bittersweet and with some breathtaking imagery. Just perfect, dear Julchen, thank you.

Thank YOU, igraine!

Now my Sam is back.

Really, does any more need to be said than that? So beautifully done, my dear, I feel Frodo's contentment and happiness with every word. Nothing can ever be better than Yuletide when you are in love.

Gorgeous, my dear. Thank you.

Awww, thank you soooo much, my dear! They so deserve a little piece of happiness, don't they?
You made me happy, too!

Love and hugs,
Julchen
