Nothing kicks off the start of winter like everyone's favorite holiday. Captured below is Santa making a visit to the Trinsic Jungles and preparing to spread Christmas cheer and warm happy holiday wishes to the natives.

My Christmas-themed submission:
Santa's Workshop!
This keep is Santa's headquarters for his toy-manufacturing operation, and thus is littered with figurines, statues, instruments, board games, masks, jewelry, and other toys. Elves can be found running back and forth in an attempt to make enough toys by Christmas time! A separate "boy's" and "girl's" chamber on the bottom floor makes sorting presents by gender a breeze. One of the more musically-inclined elves has put together a special poem, take a look at it below.
'Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the land,
Not an ostard was stirring,
a calm was at hand.
The wizards were sorting,
loot bags inside tents,
in hopes that Saint Boomland,
would throw more events
The dexxers were clad,
in armor and shield,
repressing memories,
of "In Nox" on the field.
And Kaivan with rules
and Anarcho with code
took a well deserved break
while Sosaria snowed.
For one fleeting moment,
the wizards paused their good fight,
wishing "Merry Christmas!" to all,
and to all a goodnight!

Meanwhile in Maine....
The family here at Alfond Arena regret to inform our fans that our beloved maintenance man Carl has passed away. After clearing off all the snow on our outdoor ice rink for the 18th time this season, Carl had a massive heart attack. Upon hearing that we here in Orono were expected to receive another 12 inches of snow over night he collapsed. Funeral services will be held this upcoming weekend and people can pay their respects for the many years Carl has given to Alfond Arena and the University of Maine.
So come to Alfond Arena and the home of the Black Bears for a charity game against our rivals UNH this weekend. All proceeds from food and drinks will go to Carls surviving family to help pay for funeral costs. With your purchase of a ticket you'll get to an inside look at our locker rooms and our Hockey East trophy room on the first floor.
We hope to see you all this weekend and remember, GO BLACK BEARS!!!

I've received just over half the judge's scores. It looks like we'll have the final pieces this evening and I will post the winners either this evening or tomorrow morning.

That's a tough one to judge.. I'm not an official judge, I liked Anna's for the overall effort of that Swamp of the Fens Keep.
But.. who was that with the santa's sleigh and reindeer? That was pretty epic. It's a shame this housing contest came a few months after Christmas. i've also seen a small house on the server that wasn't in this competition, but looked like a miner set a deep whole into the middle of it.
