Nordic Garrison wanted to spread some joy at the end of a strange year. We launched an advent calendar with our troops doing christmas-y things all through the days leading up to the holidays.
Each day a festive tableau was posted on the Nordic Garrison social media accounts. A Jawa decorating outdoors. An Imperial officer baking. A sith lord writing a wish list. And many more.
I was featured on December 2 and again on December 7.
And in a very special video on December 24! 🎁🎄🎅 ❄️
It was fun trooping again, even if it was just online. I had a blast preparing all the props, and I got to suit up in my stormtrooper gear again. And I even did a few photos in my Boba, making this my first official Boba-troop! Yay!
I prepared weaved christmas hearts, cookies and pastries, a several meter long christmas paper chain, and I wrapped a bunch of boxes. I even made a lightsaber. I know, I know, it doesn’t make sense for the blade to be wrapped, but I was aiming for recognition, not accuracy.
Also the paper is probably lined with beskar or something…
We spent a few hours in the evening at the empty office, taking a bunch of pictures. Here’s the ones I submitted:
