Happy Yule!

We celebrate the 12 nights of Yule and Winter Solstice complete with ale drinking, feasts and offerings to the Gods. What do you celebrate in your traditions? Solstice? Christmas? Hannukkah or other. I'd love to know and see pics of your celebrations. We usually decorate a tree. My husband is a chef and makes roasts for meat eaters and vegan roasts for vegans and vegetarians. This year we did a borscht soup to celebrate the night of the wild hunt and we did a raspberry vegan cake for Mother's Night and to honor Frigga and our female ancestors. I will continue to put more photos up in this post. I hope that you all have a wonderful holiday season whatever or however you celebrate. Cheers!

Winter Solstice celebration

I met up with group and we had a Tim Burton movie themed night for a small winter solstice celebration. It was so nice to hang with all of you. My friends brought me some really lovely gifts and we had delicious sparkling wines and food. I try to do a celebration every winter solstice. It is one of my favorite times of the year.

My friend made this lovely Tim Burton scarf for me. I love it so much!! It went with the theme of our movie night. We watched Nightmare before Christmas and Edward Scissorhands.

I got to use my new bat wine stopper. This stuff was delicious! I had several glasses!! :D 

Game of Thrones beer. Yessss!!! 

My husband's home made salsa.
