And a great way to recognize our amazing admins, yourself included, Altaira. As a member of the audience, I applaud the parody and your hard work! Cheers!

Do we walk in legends or on the green earth in the daylight?
A man may do both. For not we but those who come after will make the legends of our time. The green earth, say you? That is a mighty matter of legend, though you tread it under the light of day!

to acknowledge our 12 dear admins for this holiday season! until now I haven't seen any posts that do this, so this gave me the chance to know who our admins are.
and timely too, as i was just done posting this thank you message, below:

''Sam put his ragged orc-cloak under his master's head, and covered them both with the grey robe of Lorien; and as he did so his thoughts went out to that fair land, and to the Elves, and he hoped that the cloth woven by their hands might have some virtue to keep them hidden beyond all hope in this wilderness of fear...But their luck held, and for the rest of that day they met no living or moving thing; and when night fell they vanished into the darkess of Mordor.'' - - -rotk, chapter III
Faerie contains many things besides elves and fays and besides dwarfs, witches, trolls, giants or dragons; it holds the seas, the sun, the moon, the sky; and the earth, and all things that are one in it: tree and bird, water and stone, wine and bread, and ourselves, mortal men, when we are enchanted."

Looking at the land, and the water that flows
The true beauty of earth shows

i'm no master, just an eternal student with frequent impulses to write parodies, but thank you saying so 
And at this point I'm sorely tempted to say Thanks for the thanks (for the thanks) but I will do everyone a favor and practice restraint

You never cease to amaze, Altaira! Serving us at Fiesta, leading so many special events, always available... as are all of our Admins!! We're so blessed to have all of you and TheOneRing.net! Thank you so much!!
Here's a little tribute as a token of my appreciation...
[a la Santa Clause Is Coming To Town]
You better watch out,
no fear of belie ...
there's never a doubt
TORn's awesome, here's why...
Admins make it Christmas all year.
They visit each list,
keep peace on each board,
fight trolls who resist
our nifty sib-hoard...
Admins make it Christmas all year.
They see us when we're geeky,
they know when we're at angst,
they help us fix our wayward posts
and delight us with their ranks.
So, we always give praise
to the 12 sharing time
and makes TheOneRing
our home that's sublime.
Admins make it Christmas all year!
THANK YOU!
I really need these new films to take me back to, and not re-introduce me to, that magical world.

A video on the order of the one just posted on the main page with the TH crew. Now that would be some fun!
