'Hold your ground! Hold your ground! Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends, and break all bonds of fellowship; but it is not this day! An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Age of Men comes crashing down; but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!' — Aragorn II, son of Arathorn II and Gilraen (Viggo Mortensen), The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)



TTo those of you who celebrate Christmas, enjoy it; have a great day with the ones you love most. This is how we will be spending ours: with a token of Tolkien’s romanticism, we will be cherishing everything we hold dear; and after that we will be fighting, again, between nothing and everything, for it to be so next year.

We at The Human Front wish you a wonderful Christmas.
