Season's Treatings mini-challenge
Do you love receiving or writing end of year holiday stories? Are you prompting a snowed in Hanukkah celebration or an Australian New Year's beach party? Season's Treatings may be for you!
This mini-challenge is all about December and January holidays, traditions, and cultural celebrations big and small and all over the globe--and perhaps some fantasy worlds, who knows. If you want to prompt it, someone may want to write it.
When you comment, please include:

When you upload, tag it as Season's Treatings so we can all find them!

The Last Kingdom (TV), Jane Eyre (Brontë), North and South (Gaskell)

Holiday(s) Requested: Yule (The Last Kingdom), Christmas (all)
Fandom and character(s):
Uhtred of Bebbanburg (The Last Kingdom TV)
Jane Eyre (Jane Eyre - Charlotte Brontë)
Margaret Hale and John Thornton (North and South - Elizabeth Gaskell)
Prompts:
The Last Kingdom:
Yule vs. Christmas! Uhtred celebrates Yule, as do many of his men, but others (and the majority of people in Wessex and Mercia) celebrate Christmas, and their festivities are very different. I would enjoy either a delightfully pagan Yule fic, or a fic exploring the contrast or how the two are balance on Uhtred’s estate/at Bebbanburg (at a point in canon that suits the author!) Bonus points for children/family/found family.
Jane Eyre:
Jane is not in the habit of receiving gifts, and still isn’t used to it. But she has grown to enjoy giving them to those she loves and cares for.
Christmas at Ferndean, with her new husband, reunited with Adele.
How does Jane celebrate her first Christmas at Thornfield with Adele and Mrs Fairfax, before she meets Mr Rochester?
North and South:
Christmas in the big house at the mill. What does their day look like? What gifts do they buy/give one another?
Christmas celebrations with mill workers. There would be a gap between how masters and workers celebrate. How would Margaret manage everyone’s pride, to make it into a celebration genuinely enjoyed and valued by all, not merely unwelcome charity?
What if the Thorntons (possibly including Hannah) go to London for Christmas with Edith and her family, Henry, Mrs Shaw?
Future fic: family Christmas.
