For the third year in a row, good people, the frontier tavern keeper Joshua Ellis has invited all the Virginia countryside to the Hawk's Head Public House for a Yuletide feast, and for the third year in a row, his miserly step brother Nicholas Pitt has been persuaded to forego collecting on the tavern keeper's debt.   The Merry celebration surrounding the Christ Child's Birth and man's redemption has prevailed again!
