Karavaki - Christmas Boats
Greece has always been a seafaring nation, especially when you look at the islands. The sailors worked hard and were at sea for long periods of time, while the women waited on the Greek islands for the return of their fathers, brothers, husbands and sons. The return of loved ones was a cause for celebration, and the women decorated small wooden boats that were placed in front of the door with a small lantern next to it. This was a special way of saying "welcome home" and that since medieval times.
A Karavaki (small boat) next to Christmas trees (x)
The decorating of boats spread throughout much of the country and became a custom during the holidays during the 17th and 18th centuries. The wooden boats were decorated with lights and ornaments and were placed near a door or fireplace with the bow of the Christmas boat facing inwards. This symbolised the successful journey to the mainland. Sometimes coins or gold objects were placed in the boat, symbolising the wealth of a household. Children also went door to door with these wooden boats, happily singing Greek Christmas carols. While they sang, neighbours would put small treats like sweets or candies in the boats.

blessings roll call! add on in the tags if you so wish <3
#new (to me) car! huge answer to prayer!#was lowkey so stressed about car issues I was actively losing sleep over it.#having a reliable comfy and relatively cheap car now is such a blessing#dad very generously emptied his CDs out of the cool 30-yr-old compact holder I've been coveting for years and gave it to me#so now I get to party like it's 2007 driving around with my CDs expertly contained and catalogued#got accepted into the OTA program I was applying for all through the summer!#so gotta set up classes for that#more good school news is I've already done all the the co-reqs for next semester's OTA classes#meaning I only have 2 classes + choir which I'll do for fun and thus can work more hours and also have time for an actual life#looking forward to a more restful semester#time with family and friends has been so precious lately#even though it's been scarce it's been lovely and joyful when it happens#looking forward to the holidays actually for the first time in years!#usually they're dreaded because of family drama but I think I can manage to find joy anyway#and also choose to spend less time or no time in or around the drama#looking forward to break. three more weeks of classes and then freedom for five glorious weeks.#looking forward to Advent especially!#also made soup today and it's so good#thankful for a good job and for getting along with my coworkers#and immensely thankful for books especially audiobooks without which I would not have survived this year#and for the Gospel of John. it's holding me together rn. struggling through some faith questions and some anger towards God#the last few months#but as long as I can stay in scripture...it still seems worth it.#blessings

WIP WEDNESDAY
In which Halbrand is a recently disgraced priest, Galadriel writes smutty romance novels, and they spend several days crossing the country by train to make it home in time for Christmas.
She makes him feel covetous. Sinful in his very existence. She makes him feel like the kind of man he'd been told he could never escape becoming - lecherous and lustful, falling easily to the wiles of the more dazzling sex.
And then he thinks he doesn't mind so much. If she is to be the proverbial stumbling block in his path, then he is already on his knees. Already, he has fallen below concerns of what is righteous and true. He looked at the thousand little sins of his life and thought, "So what?" and also, "What else?"
Because if he is going to turn aside - and he has, and he will, and maybe he will never stop looking at the choices before him and weighing the path of happiness corporeal against the path to happiness eternal and finding eternity wanting - he wants it to matter.
He'd left his pulpit under an avalanche of a thousand little lies, but now it seemed he needed something more. A declaration of intent on the road into darkness. If he intends to cast aside all he knew and all he once craved, to go in a blaze of glory seems fitting.
And she would be glorious, pinned beneath him with skin or ivory and hair of gold and lips like the bud of a rose. She would be worth the final nail in his coffin, a fitting footnote to a fall from grace.
The devil wears pastel and calls him darling in a voice that sounds like summer rain and makes temptation beguiling. No better than Adam, he'd lick the juice of the fruit from her skin, suckle the promises from her breast, join her in devastation until he forgot the face of God.
#the working title is 2Ad2Vent#i considered advent 2: electric boogaloo but thats what i called an empire of abundance and i dont like repeating myself#anyway you cant tell from this snippet but this is actually going to be a fun and festive time#one ship to doom them all#haladriel#saurondriel#nervildo
