On behalf of the staff of TheOneRing.net, we’d like to wish you all peace, health and love this holiday season. You may notice that our site has ‘re-skinned’ in time for the holiday with a ‘Letters from Father Christmas’ theme - inspired by the artwork of J.R.R. Tolkien. If you weren’t aware, starting in the early 1920s Tolkien responded to his children’s letters to Father Christmas with notes and drawings. He introduced the chores of packing the many packages, the mishaps of weather and the mischief of his faithful helper, North Polar Bear, to his sons and daughter. These letters are lovely reproduced in ‘Letters from Father Christmas,’ a wonderful little book published by Houghton Mifflin. Consider picking it up sometime if you have not already!
