[MR] Stefan's files for December

[Olwen the Odd]

Greetings Everyone,

A Joyous Yule Season to everyone!

Here is a copy of my Florilegium article for December, describing what is 
new in the Florilegium this month.

There are a number of Yule oriented files in the Florilegium that also may 
be of interest to folks. Some of these are files containing SCA oriented 
gift suggestions, while others detail various medieval Yule traditions. 
Wassail or a caudle, anyone?

If you are a newsletter editor and would like to get on my list to receive 
this article several weeks in advance in order to allow you time to meet 
your publication deadlines, please email me.

A Blending of the Past and Present

Over the past fourteen years in an ongoing effort, I have been collecting 
bits of useful information from various newsgroups, mail lists and articles 
submitted to me by their authors. In order to make this information 
available to others, I have placed this information in a series of files I 
call Stefan's Florilegium.

The Florilegium is on the web at: http://www.florilegium.org

I am always interested in new articles. If you have written an article that 
would be of interest to others in the SCA, please send it to me for possible 
inclusion in the Florilegium. Contact me for more details.

I am also interested in volunteers who might be interested in helping me 
maintain the Florilegium. Everything from collecting materials, editing and 
web work is needed. Again, please contact me for more details.
