May you survive the long winter night

and have a Joyous Solstice celebration!

BD#2 (she of the birthing tub in the living room) and her family are celebrating the holidays today, as pagans. They will be doing the yule log, the yule wreath (kept until the summer solstice and then burned); feasting, bell ringing, and such tonight, with gifts.

Wish I could be there, but am saving $300 by going in January!

: feels confused and out of step :

Midsummer's day! Waxing crescent moon. Intense sunlight all day.

Blessings all.

Glatt: Wow! Amazing pic.

Briana: I love that song as well and have listened to it far more times than I thought humanly possible.
