Twelve Days of Christmas: #5

On the fifth day of Christmas, my stories gave to me...

five glowing wreaths...

four dragon eggs,

three blank stares,

two chestnuts soaked,

and a blue crab in a scrap treeee

This is the day I was most excited about.

Team 14 from Kraidare. They celebrate what's called "The Festival of Lights," which after watching Tangled I realized is kinda similar, but I don't care because figuring this holiday out made my heart happy, and this story doesn't do that much.

Basically, instead of making lanterns, everyone makes wreaths, usually out of pine boughs, but one of the ones I got is made of maple, so I guess other leaves work too. 

After the wreaths are finished, they're coated in a special oil that will burn, but the plants won't burn.

They hang all the wreaths up, light 'em up, and it's so pretty and glowy.

Sometimes entertainers make their wreaths extra large so they can spin them and do other tricks while burning, and then it looks like some kind of crazy portal opening and spitting sparks everywhere. AND I THINK I HAVE ONE OF THOSE.

Thank you, Fyn and Regga, I was dying to have an entertainer hoooop.
