Holiday dragons are a very mysterious breed. They are only seen during winter, and even then it is hard to catch a glimpse of one. They are responsible for the general cheer that spreads during the holidays. In essence, they are the “Spirits of Winter.”

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Because of Tis The Season's attitude towards the Christmas holidays, much of the responsibility for organizing the festivities has fallen to Candy Cane.  Nervous and very unsure of himself, Candy Cane often wishes that someone else was around to take care of this enormous responsibility, but alas, all of the other Christmas dragons have talents that lie elsewhere.  Because of this, the Christmas season is a very stressful time for poor Candy Cane, not helped along any by Tis The Season's snarky, pessimistic attitude.

When December comes around, it is not uncommon to find Candy Cane hidden behind a pine tree in a state of near-panic, muttering and whimpering to himself as he goes through his mental list of things that need to get done.  His stress is not helped by the fact that Minority takes advantage of his tough times, seeking him out as she considers him to be the most likely to listen to her rants on parchment rights when he is anxious.
