Heirs of Asgard held their second virtual event on July 25, 2020 – A Very Merry Heirs of Asgard Christmas in July! Even though the event was virtual, it required a bit of scheming and plotting in advance, as one of the features for the evening was a Secret Santa Gift Exchange. A few gifts were delayed due to shipping issues, but most arrived on-time, so players were able to unwrap their mystery packages and learn their Secret Santa’s identity.
As the night progressed, we did three contests: Best Christmas Joke, Most Obscure Christmas Fact or Tradition, and Best Christmas Outfit. Every Grand Prize was purchased from the Faire Relief 2020 group on Facebook, to support the Ren Faire community!
The grand prize for the Best Christmas Joke was a Hatching Baby Dragon from Mythological Taxidermy, and it went to PJ, for this atrociously morbid reindeer joke: “Which reindeer will never go hungry? Donner.” Next up was Most Obscure Fact or Tradition. Geordan won an Old Man Pixie Door from Blue Toucan Studios for sharing Venezuela’s Christmas tradition of roller skating to church! Finally, the five entries for Best Christmas Outfit were too delightful for me to choose, so we spun the wheel of fate to reveal our winner: Caleb! His grand entrance into the competition must’ve impressed the wheel, so he will be receiving a Lichen Magic Wand and Holster from Broomhilde.
Overall, I think the event was a success, and I hope we have more virtual events until we can safely meet IRL. 🙂
