My Yule Candle
I’m celebrating…
Laughter from grandchildren.
Twinkling lights on a Christmas tree.
Listening to carols on the radio.
Hot chocolate on a cold, rainy day.
Smiles from passing strangers.
These are a few of my favorite things…
Winter Solstice celebrations have begun!
Light the Yule log and pass a cup of mead around. Or if you prefer, hot apple cider.
As we anticipate the battle of the aging Holly King and the young Oak King, light and warmth return.
We may not see or feel it, but the wheel of the season is turning. The sun will linger a wee bit longer each day.
It has been a blessed year for me, and I would like to end it with a giveaway to celebrate all the amazing people in my life. I will select one random subscriber to my newsletter/blog on New Year’s Eve. The package includes: A signed print copy of Dragon Knight’s Medallion, Celtic bookmark, Tea and shortbread cookies, and a Ness wallet from Scotland.
If you haven’t signed up to receive my newsletter/blog, now is the time. You can fill out the form on the right hand side under “Follow via Email.” (Scroll down past my books)
Wishing everyone a joyous holiday season!
Happy Holidays to all!!!
