This is sweet. I like Arthur's reason for celebrating Yule instead of Christmas.

AHHHH, THANK YOU SO MUCH, SAGE_OWL!

This is exactly the holiday fic I have always wanted ♥️♥️♥️ I love the way Arthur quietly celebrates traditional Yule (such a nice tie-in with the world-building there!) and his reasons for doing so, and I especially love the way Merlin comes to realise his mistake and modifies his gift to reflect that. The ending was so sweet I had actual tears in my eyes. Could not have asked for a better gift. Thank you! ✨💖✨

I keep saying "Aww" but I totally mean it! So many good fics this year, and yours is so sweet. I like that Arthur celebrates Yule and that Merlin is curious enough to learn all about Druid customs. :)

A lot of great visuals in this one, especially the snow globes! My favourite was the cabin one with the Northern lights in it 🤩 (loved that Merlin was considerate of Arthur enough to change the original globe). And Arthur celebrating Yule because of his mother was touching, along with him scraping off frost on Merlin’s car 😊 Another lovely Christmas + Yule fix! (Also, I did not expect to be so into Merlin’s thumb ring kink 😆)

That was very sweet. I loved how Arthur celebrated Yule rather than Christmas. Great job.
