On December 26, we celebrated Yule as we typically do each year. It is always something I look forward to.
To celebrate, we harken back to an earlier time to honor what our ancestors experienced in the past. So, we always make sure to get up to see the sunrise. This year was no exception...but we woke up just in time to see it rise in Beverly.
Then, we came home and had breakfast. We watched a nature show - Yellowstone at Christmas - to capture the mood. We only watched a little bit of this.
We then made sure to prepare food for the animals to hang on the Solstice tree. I always love doing that. We served apples with peanut butter, bread and peanut butter with birdseed, and cranberries.
We then made our annual Yule logs, complete with decorated Swiss rolls. It was a ton of fun!!! I love those rolls.
We wrapped up by turning all the lights in the house to "honor" the light.
All and all, an authentic, and ancient, way to reflect on life.
