Hi guys! This is my 12 Days of Christmas fic for Day 4- today, so after the delay caused by my birthday and plain old forgetfulness and sloth, I'M ALL CAUGHT UP! WOOHOO! (Now if only getting caught up on homework could be so easy...) Enjoy, and I promise the next fic will not be a songfic- the next fic would have been the last fic if hadn't DELETED HUNDREDS OF WORDS OF MY BRILLIANT IDEA TWICE... I kind of feel like Fëanor with his Silmarils, actually... so review so I don't go insane and start settings things on fire! Enjoy!
As a reminder, the 12 Days of Christmas fics started on December 13 (the 12 days leading up to Christmas, because I'll be skiing the day after Christmas and then going back to school :P). They are:
Day 1 (12/13): All I Want for Yuletide (Silmarillion)- I really, really wanted to write a Hobbit fic to honor DoS coming out but even though I saw the movie I don't know Thorin's Company that well and couldn't think of anything. :(
Day 2 (a day late on 12/15): The 12 Days of Christmas, Middle-earth version! (Lord of the Rings)
Day 3 (a day late on 12/16): My Revenge on the Internet, or, Fëanor Learns the Spirit of Christmas (Silmarillion)
Day 4 (on time! 12/16): The 12 Days of Christmas, First Age Version!
On the first day of Yuletide, the Valar gave to me...
An Elf with hair that looks like a tree!
On the second day of Yuletide, the Valar gave to me...
Two shiny Trees
And an Elf with hair that looks like a tree!
On the third day of Yuletide, the Valar gave to me...
Three Elf-kindreds,
Two shiny Trees,
And an Elf with hair that looks like a tree!
On the fourth day of Yuletide, the Valar gave to me...
Four Elves with sense,
Three Elf-kindreds,
Two shiny Trees,
And an Elf with hair that looks like a tree!
A/N: The only four Elves with sense (mostly) in the Silmarillion that I could think of are Idril, Eärendil, Lúthien Tinúviel, and Elrond. (So, as my friend Quantumphysica pointed out to me, all the sense in the Eldar race is in Elrond's family!) Actually, Finarfin had sense too... but Eärendil, Lúthien, and Elrond are all part Elf, so it's an average of four Elves!

FIVE MINUS TWO SHINY THIIIINGS!
Four Elves with sense,

A/N: The eight cousins (of the Fëanorions) are Fingon, Turgon, Aredhel, Argon, Finrod, Angrod, Aegnor, and Galadriel (I go with the latest version that Gil-galad is the son of Orodreth is the son of Angrod, and as for why they're ticked off... does "Grinding Ice" ring any bells?
