For our 19th yule calendar surprise, we have more LOTRO screenshots from Piandao. They are as pretty as yule cards. Grand work again, Piandao! After the pictures, I have added a short note about something special that concerns some of our kinship members.

Now, the hobbity calendar is meant to cheer folks up for yule, but I
want to add a short note about a more serious matter, since this calendar can reach so many
kind and helpful souls all around Middle-earth. This year, our kinship member Wiberic wanted to provide a yule illustration for our calendar as well. (Yer
might have spotted their other character, Demelsa, in yesterday's video.)
But then, something awful happened. Wiberic lost her dear sister Kim to the awful
disease that has been spreading all over. Their family is going through
a very hard time. Many have offered help and support to them, and hence there's
a fundraising campaign
for the family. Wiberic and Daffney (Kim's other sibling who is also in our kinship) are both dear to us, so
I offered to add a note about their campaign to this calendar. If you'd like to help too and add your kind words to the fundraising page, feel free to. Yer can also learn more about their wonderful sister there.
These are difficult times for many. Folks have lost their dear ones, jobs, and might be locked inside their burrows for a long time. It's hard to feel merry in this situation, I am sure. Still, I hope that the little things like the entries in this calendar can bring a smile on people's faces and warm up their hearts. If yer ever need some hobbity cheer, yer know where to find it. Let's hold on together to get everyone through these challenging times.
