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.

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.

Gorgeous, my dear. Thank you.
