A Very Merry Viking Christmas Festive Fun For Everyone

What happened when the Picts invited the newly converted Vikings over for their first Christmas? Read on.


The Vikings were so eager to get involved in their first Christmas that there were several fatalities in the crush to get into church 239 Pictish hosts died, along with 79 visiting Vikings. The Mead Hall was accidently burned down due to over enthusiastic lighting of alcohol soaked Christams puddings.


After the church service the Vikings all stood around a stone cross and sang carols while the Picts frantically tried to put out the bruning buildings. The Vikings took exception to this and killed another 178 Picts before making it clear that they liked the fires as it kept them warm. King Ragnar I has a wonderful bass voice and the local Pictish archers donated some arrows to the Viking carrolers. The Vikings misunderstood this as an attack so they slaughtered the archers.


The Vikings went home with 2850 florins of pillaged goods and a large turkey. Christmas, they declared, is a good thing. When else can we be invited around to someone's stronghold to burn, pillage and kill. Plus this way we get free food and drink The Picts said only one thing - Bah Humbug Next year they can go visit the Mercians
