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.

Merry Christmases to Come is a brightly colored Winter Magi. He and his friend, Merry Christmases Gone, spend most of the year on snowy mountains. They stay there until the first snows release them from their confinement and they are allowed to go join their clan in the festivities that last from the first snows of December to a little past New Year's day. They tell great stories and legends to the hatchlings and adults and they will leave every one of them a little gift.
