Friends With Lewis (Epic fantasy-folk Christmas song) / Fellowship of The Ring

Описание: Tolkien to his friend C.S.Lewis: "You cannot write Father Christmas into Your fantasy story!"
Lewis, in response: "Hold my beer! Not only I write him into my story, I will write him into Yours!"

What happens, if Lewis were to edit Tolkien's Fellowship of The Ring?


🖋️ Lyrics

In the quiet of winter, When ink meets the page,
A beard turns white, And a dwarf turns the age.

By firelight in Rivendell, The Fellowship stands
Snow on the mountains, A pen in strange hands

A scholar in shadows With pipe smoke and cheer
Writes one more chapter That wasn’t here last year

Not in the canon, Not planned from the start
But friendship allows it And mischief takes part

Oh ho ho, by stone and by frost,
Gimli son of Glóin is utterly lost—
Or found, one might say,
By Yuletide decree,
With boots full of presents
And laughter run free

A hammer becomes bells, The axe rests at last
A red coat appears From spell and from past

“Sit down,” says the dwarf, With a voice deep and slow,
“I’ve gifts to deliver— Now form a neat row.”

Aragorn, son of kings, you wander and roam—
From wilds to thrones, from road to home!
So take these boots, forged sturdy and true,
With reinforced toe tips— For the work you must do.

Boromir, captain, proud and brave—
A heart too bold for the fate you gave!
A breastplate renewed, unmarred by despair,
Strong enough now For burdens you bear.

Oh ho ho, by beard and by cheer,
This isn’t the ending we thought we’d hear—

Frodo steps forward, weary and small,
With eyes that have seen
Much too much at all

A thin little book
Wrapped plain, nothing more—
“How to Overcome Depression,”
Edition four.

It’s not a ring That saves the day,
Sometimes it’s help Along the way.

Samwise grins wide, Knows what is right—
A sack full of potatoes, Heavy and tight

Merry and Pippin— No need to ask—
They’re gifted a fourth supper
To add to the task.

Oh ho ho, the table groans,
Even elves hear stomach moans,
Carols ring with buttered cheer,
Second breakfast draws quite near!

Legolas waits, serene and fair,
Ageless wisdom, flawless hair

A book is handed— Thin but wise:
“How to Make Friends,” Third revised.

And somewhere beyond the page and the snow,
A different author says softly, “You know—
John, my friend, let them laugh a bit more.
The world needs a joke
And a warm winter door.”

Oh ho ho, by ink and by flame,
Stories bend but hearts remain
Not all magic breaks the dark—
Some just leave a brighter mark

Raise a cup to frost and cheer,
To gifts absurd and friends held dear
For even legends, carved in stone,
Can change—
When written by friends,
Not alone.

And so it’s told, Each Yule henceforth—
The dwarf who became
Father Christmas…
Or Father Frost...

Ho. Ho. Ho.
