the_vultureToday, I had a nice walk out to a lovely English country field to watch the sun rise. 'Twas absolutely beautiful to watch the clouds change from crimson to gold, the sky from indigo to powder blue. And, yes, to see the Sun climb out from the shadowy hills; His longest slumber of the year finally over. 'Twas a worthy moment to share a libation with Divinity; good thing I thought to bring a crisp, clear can of cider with me! *grin*
Later celebrations included a feast of ham and pork, an echo of ancient Yule traditions that called for the sacrifice of a boar and much rejoicing. And, of course, there was the lighting of candles to symbolize the renewal of the Sun's warming energy.
And I'm still not finished! The neighbours have kindly invited me over to get completely smashed. Aside from all the fixings needed to make Black Russians, I'll be bringing over a Belgian chocolate ganash Yule log to share.
Yep, gonna have to do me some serious jogging THIS holiday season...
