In our household we celebrate more on the winter solstice rather than Christmas, so blessed Yule to one and all!
It's the first day of winter and the shortest day. They're going to get longer and lighter from here on out, which I know I'll be appreciating for sure. Nothing like waking up to a bright morning. <3
Have a fab day everyone! (I'm not sure I'll survive the sheer amount of food we've ended up with)

It is a very grey day here this morning - a rain storm is coming in tomorrow afternoon. The boys are confused. They don't know if they should be eating or sleeping. Buddy is complaining! Perfect day for a yule log. Happy Yule to you Ira! |

Happy Yule from me too Ira. Excuse my ignorance, but what do you do to celebrate. |

jellybean It's pretty much just early Christmas, to be honest. Gifts and lots of food. Films or YouTube videos that make us smile or laugh. Lily the cat has had treats and some cheeky nibbles of human food, and the budgies have had a millet spray to share (which had the extra benefit of encouraging Gwen to eat). We usually write wishes for the year ahead and put them somewhere safe. If I feel inclined I might do some card reading and do some reflective writing. Things vary a little each year as we find what works for us, try out cool looking ideas, etc. This year the time seems to have flown by so it's just been a very chill, relaxed day.

And to you, ariella. My housemate extends her blessings also. Your Yule log looks amazing! |

Thanks. My eldest does logging as a sideline so he provided me with the log a few years ago and hubby drilled the holes for the candles. It’s absolutely nowhere near the budgies of course.

Hope you and your housemate had a wonderful evening.
