Today, December 22, marks the winter solstice for 2015. This means it is officially Yuletide, one of the oldest winter celebrations known. In some form or fashion it was celebrated by the Egyptians, the Romans, the Celts, the Vikings and all sorts of other civilizations that were here before us. With the advent of Christianity a lot of that Yule traditions were adopted to make conversion of the pagans a little bit easier for the church.
To celebrate a wonderful end to a good year, we will light up the fire pit this evening and reflect on Christmases past with laughter and love.
So today celebrate Yule with a warm fire or a tabletop log and candles!
