Another year and the snow begins to fall. Survivors take up their seasonal traditions of dragging pine trees through the cold streets, and leaving footprints and blood in the snow as the undead trail them to their decorated safehouses. A few zombies brave the bitter cold and wander the streets in search of brains. Old-timers sit in their safe-houses and grumble about how things used to be. Everywhere the permeating stench of social decline…but wait…what is that in the distance?
Could it be an approaching horde? A rescue chopper or convoy of modified buses? The onset of mass hysteria? No! Too melodic. Could it be…Caroling!?
...
You bet your frost-bitten rump it is. Harman for the Holidays is back!
We have come for two reasons...
...to kick ass and spread holiday cheer, and we have completely lost our motivation to kick ass. So on to the cheer. Harman for the Holidays II: Return of the Harman is the second annual Christmas event sponsored by The D.S. R&D and other local groups. Supplies may be dwindling but we are still managing to pull out all the stops. This year, Harman for the Holidays will once more be composed of two events: a decoration competition and a Malton-wide Zombie Apocalypse carol contest.
So get some mistletoe up in here!
Merry Christmas From Wyke Hills
Wish You Were Here

A portable generator has been set up here. It is running low on fuel. A recently-cut
fir tree has been propped up in a crude stand, and decorated with white lights.
Somebody has spraypainted Snowball fight in the park!. onto a wall.
You drape the lights over the tree and plug them in.
Last year we managed quite a Christmas card image of Wyke Hills, with the stings of lights strung out on every corner. But c'mon survivors of this year. Are you going to let survivors of last year show you up? They didn't weather the return of the Dead like you did. They are old news, and I think they have been saying rude things about you behind your back. Time to put your tinsel where your mouth is! Get out there and start decorating; fortune and fame await you.
Resident’s of Wyke hills are asked to light and decorate as much as they can. Sure zombies will tear down your Christmas decorations eventually, but that is no excuse not to show your holiday spirit. Pictures or screen-grabs can be posted to the discussion page for this article. The ultimate goal of this portion of the event will be to be able to piece together a picture of Wyke Hills in its entire splendor for next year’s Christmas cards. The best decorated building will receive mention on the wiki along with the person or group who takes credit for decorating it. Shiny template spam will be awarded to the decorator and your name will go down in Wyke Hills History.
Zombie groups are encouraged to participate as well and an award will be given to the best zombie "decoration." So smear that blood and defile that graffiti; just because you are dead does not mean you cannot get in on the action.
Now prove to your parents that they didn't waste the money they paid for voice lessons
That's right! Practice your scales and dust off your Dickensian top hats; the caroling competition is back, and this time it is Malton-Wide. Last year we managed to put together quite a corpus of songs, but repackaging classic hits for another go-around is part of the Holidays, so lets get out there and do it once more with feeling! The Caroling competition will begin on December 24th and last through January 1st. Any holiday-themed songs performed anywhere in Malton during this time period will be eligible to win. Post songs to the “songs” section below to share them and enter the competition for best carol (voting will start on January 2nd). Any songs may be posted and shared but to be entered in the competition, it needs to actually be performed in Malton (working on the honor system but scrrenshots are welcome). Songs may be performed and submitted in Harman or in Zamgrh. So survivors, let’s get out there and make some music. Zombies, break through those barricades and sing your un-beating hearts out or serenade your favorite RP. Here is your chance to prove that you are more festive than your neighbor and get some shiny template spam to prove it.
Songs
(Please post entries below using "===="s around the song title. Include where, when and if the song was performed, and place a signature following the lyrics as per the example)
Let's Unload, Let's Unload, Let's Unload
Well the zombies outside are frightful
But the mallrats are so unlikeable
And since we have so much ammo
Let's unload, let's unload, let's unload!
