I have no festive Yule pictures for you all, because it took a visit to Traci’s blog to remind me it was Yule! Shame on me, but really, I had a good reason. Mom got in last night at 10:30 with the tail end of what we think was food poisoning - she’d been sick since the middle of Pennsylvania, but toughed it out for the rest of the drive. What normally is a 7 hour trip yesterday was 10 1/2 hours! But she made it and is recuperating at my place while I put in a half day at work.
So, anyway, Happy Yule (or Winter Solstice, if you prefer). This is one of my favorite Pagan holidays because I know that the days start getting longer now - daylight is returning to the land, finally. Today we will be in darkness in the Northern Hemisphere for a little over 15 hours. And then it gets better. The daylight stays with us a little longer every day, and soon I won’t have to leave work in the pitch black. Woohoo!!! (You don’t know cold until you are waiting for a bus in the cold, wind, snow, rain, and dark.) If that’s not something to celebrate, I don’t know what the heck is.
