Christmas characters and food, Christmas-linked holidays and music, Santa Claus and traditions. Related to Annunciation, Incarnation; Crucifixion; Advent, the four weeks preceding Christmas; and the period between the day after Thanksgiving and the Sunday after New Year”s Day, the American holiday season. Christmas or Christmas Day is a holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus, the central figure of Christianity. Aspects of celebration may include gift-giving, Christmas trees, display of Nativity sets, church attendance, the Father Christmas/Santa Claus myth, and family gatherings. Users of the Gregorian calendar observe the holiday on December 25. Some Eastern Orthodox Churches celebrate on December 25 by the Julian calendar, which currently corresponds to January 7 on the Gregorian calendar. These dates are merely traditional; the great majority of scholars agree that the actual birthdate of Jesus is unknown. In Western culture, the holiday is characterized by the exchange of gifts among friends and family members, some of the gifts being attributed to Santa Claus (also known as Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas, Saint Basil and Father Frost). However, various local and regional Christmas traditions are still practiced, despite the widespread influence of American, British and Australian Christmas motifs disseminated by film, popular literature, television, and other media.

Greywolf is the general of an anemic militia that guards the frontiers of the idyllic land of the Fae, Tir-na-nog. All appears peaceful along the northern borders, until he sends animals to spy across the Mysts, that mysterious veil that separates the Human lands from the enchanted Lands of the Fae. He rushes back to his homeland only to be scorned as an opportunist by the ruling council. Almost single handedly he strives to stem the flow of the enemy not only into his own lands, but into all of Tir-na-nog itself. Will he succeed? Can he rally the kingdoms to defend the lands in time? The answer may surprise you. Enter a wayward Goddess hell bent on revenge! Diana arrives in Tir-na-nog to avenge the destruction of her temples And the murdering of her priestesses. The first living soul she encounters upon arrival is Greywolf. The Sparks fly as they form an unlikely partnership to do battle against Dark Lord!
