During the night, envelopes with letters in them were delivered to a conspicuous place in each dorm’s living area, each one addressed to the individual Chosen residing within the pantheon’s housing. The letters said simply:<br/><br/><i>Dear Chosen,<br/>
<br/>
It is once again the end of the solar year, and with it, there are three days of note to focus our efforts on.<br/>
<br/>
First is the Winter Solstice, a time to give offerings and thanks to your god or goddess for their protection throughout the year. Today, December 21st, there will be a ceremony held by Shogun Nenene Hirasaka at noon before the shrine entrance, followed by a shrine visit. Please bring your offerings to the ceremony for ritual cleansing.<br/>
<br/>
Next, Christmas Eve and Christmas. For those of you who celebrate the holiday, and for those who merely wish to drink, dance, and mingle, Elysian Isle holds a yearly ball on Christmas Eve. On Saturday December 24th, the main hall of The Big House will be transformed into a dance floor, and the dining hall will be hosting catering and drinks provided by our talented cooks. While some mistletoe induced mischief is expected, please remember that the other villagers may end up embarrassed on your behalf for excessive drunken or lewd conduct.<br/>
<br/>
Finally, the Solar New Year party, to be held on the training field on New Year’s Eve. Please check any personal fireworks you purchase with security, if only for the safety of those viewing the event.<br/>
<br/>
Security, please remember this is a time of celebration, but to still remain vigilant during your duties both surrounding and during these wonderful events.<br/>
<br/>
