A tree for the animals

Yule had many traditions among the people of Rivendell, which were cherished year after year. One of them was to go into the forest and hang food for the animals on the trees, usually apples or carrots from the camps.

The master of the house also went to the forest with his children, as he did every year. They had a big basket of food with them.

Arwen jumped happily ahead. "That tree there is beautiful!" she announced, pointing to a fir tree barely a man high. With these words, she grabbed the first carrot she could find, as well as some twine. Then she eagerly began to decorate the tree deliciously.
