📋 About This Mod
Saturalia - Christmas in Skyrim Saturalia is traditionally celebrated on the 25th of Evening Star. Originally a holiday for a long forgotten god of debauchery, it has become a time of gift-giving, parties, and parading. Visitors are encouraged to participate.

Scholars at the College of Winterhold, who traditionally adorn the college with the help of illusion magic, have discovered how to craft miniature welkynd stones in a variety of glowing colors, and all of Skyrim's hold capitals have been decorated with these gleaming, crystalline lights. Some also choose to decorate with wreaths of evergreens to remember that life continues even on these dark winter nights, and others have even taken to trimming what they call Saturalia trees.
Carolers spread the cheer of the season throughout the cities, filling the cold air with their songs. Friends are more generous with gifts, leaving wrapped boxes for their acquaintances to discover and sometimes greeting people directly with presents. Children leave their shoes outside their homes in hope that Father Saturalia will fill them with nuts and candy. Cooks bake traditional treats of the season to share with friends and family.
There are alternate versions with less content, if that is what you prefer.
Features Decorations Each hold capital is decorated with a distinctive style to celebrate the season. Whether it's Markarth, with its silver and jewel-toned orbs, Riften, with its masses of golden lights, or Whiterun, with its many colors and candles, each city has its own unique character. More than 150 interiors, and several other towns and settlements, have also been decorated.
Carolers Groups of carolers can be found in cities, spreading the season's cheer with their song. All songs are lore-friendly!
Quests Spread the holiday spirit by helping a child believe in Father Saturalia or giving comfort to separated lovers with two fully-voiced new quests. Perhaps you can also learn a new trick!
If you're having any issues with quests, it can be helpful to save your game and then load that save.
Gifts Saturalia makes the citizens of Skyrim feel more generous than usual, so don't be surprised if a friend stops you in the street to offer you a present! You can also find wrapped boxes of gifts in many places, but not all of these are for you to take -- many presents belong to other people. Some special items can only be obtained through gifts.
