With the Christmas season fast approaching, like @brads3, I think a separate mod of Christmas deco items would be nice.  I think they would go especially well with @Tom Sawyer North mod or separate Nordic mods.  Maybe red bows on white picket fence and lightpost, decorated trees for outside, or traditional Swedish decorations.  The travel section of our local newspaper yesterday, had an article on Swedish Christmas.  Writer mentions tradition decorations, candelabra lights, straw Julbock goat figures and decorations made of birch and pine, Santa Lucia, and Jultomte with a goat and sleigh. @Nilla would know more.  Goats would maybe be a good farm animal to add to the North, I don't know if there are goats already somewhere in the mods that I haven't got to yet. I wouldn't mind some gingerbread houses, and little snowman like one I saw in post.

Hi! I read your post and have made a quick release of the snowman
that I showed earlier (somewhere in the forum)
I have made him free to build and immediately removeable.
You can place him on roads.
He is hardy :) Likes sunshine and summer :) :)

The icons are a bit sloppy but if anyone wants to change anything
I have included the code.

The original came from I don't know but I found him in a modpack for
the game Morrowind.

@kid1293 oh my gosh, thank you and doesn't he look nice with that blue flax growing nearby.  I was just placing some of your decorative crates by the red barn and matching fenceless pasture you made and thinking we could use a few decorative bales of hay and bundles of corn stalks.  I just planted more of the garden vegetables and am eager to get to the story and post pictures.  Thanks again for great mods, really enjoyable.

Thank you so much!  My granddaughter is building them everywhere.

Adorable. Thanks for the Christmas cheer!

How about another cheer?

This is a 'tomteverkstad' (Santa's workshop) which gives
Christmas gifts to everyone.
I have, for the moment, only Ale, Iron Tools and Leather Coats
as products. For free that is. :)
I thought about having Walnuts but I couldn't make them
appear magically from nowhere, so some food is needed.
Maybe blueberries. The 'nisse' (Santa's helper) goes out
in the night and comes back with something for each of you.
I don't know. You tell me.
And @DesoPL , no pirates, dont underestimate the power
of the good side. :)

This should work to make it by magic.

I know how to make walnuts appear 'by magic'
It's just that Banished never was about magic (or Santa Claus for that matter).

The cultivated products are nowhere from the start and I want it to be logical.
I didn't want to get food out of the air.
Blueberries on the other hand are quite possible to collect freely.
Roots and mushroom too.

Tools made from scrap metal found everywhere.
Coats made from old discarded coats.
Ale from whatever is fermenting in the kitchen. :)

Another possibility is firewood. Found everywhere in the forest.

I'll come up with something. I don't want to invent new stuff just for gifts.
The best is if they are already in the game.

A bag of firewood and a hammer... not a bad Christmas gift.

... there are Acorns from the oak trees in the forests :) many a time, long ago did we grind them up and use as a substitute flour.

except for in the north... too cold and harsh for an oak.

Fantastic!
We have overlooked acorns - and we have all those oaks!
That could be something.  ;)
Not in this mod but later.

I stay with Ale, Leather Coat, Iron Tools and Firewood.
All need a little work and some input in vanilla game.
Here they take a long time to create but cost nothing.

For updated version - check further down.

I would prefer a magical Santa Claus. Who makes gifts out of nowhere. Not in huge masses, just for fun. Could be new things to eat or to consume in another way (like alcohol). And it would be nice to see some Christmas in the houses. Something new and flagged as food or fuel to be stored in houses and to be consumed after a while. A wooden toy railway is better than firewood. And can also be burned when necessary. ;D

Thanks @kid1293 for this wonderful Christmas gift.  @Tom Sawyer, I like the idea of a magical Christmas, maybe a red Santa's Sleigh with candy canes, Christmas cookies, toy train firewood is good, how about a lump of coal with red ribbon or bow.  I think I will definitely be visiting The North pole before Christmas this year.  What fun.  Thank you both for great mods.

Do we need to give Santa some milk and cookies (pie) to make him give us gifts?

And can Santa give all my lazy laborers coal? Seriously, get to work people!
