DECK THE HALLS -- As temperatures drop and the snow settles, the royalty of Europe descend upon the Burgundian court, spurred on by an invitation by the Dowager Duchess. After all, what better time is there to further secure the bonds created at the summit in Stockholm than Christmas - a time when peace and good will is treasured?
Christmas Day is ushered in with the Midnight Mass at the Cathedral of Saint Benignus of Dijon, voices rising high into the vaulted ceiling. The Royals do not reconvene until the morn, whereupon the hunt begins in the forests to the south of Dijon. The evening plays host to a grand feast, with the finest meals Burgundy has to offer provided by the quarry of the hunt.
The Lord of Misrule, a courtier appointer by the Duchess, presides over the evenings merriment, leading the assembled in song and dance. As the night draws to a close, the candles low, the gift exchange commences.
