Yule
The Winter Solstice celebrates the rebirth of the sun.
The cultural winter holidays that share this Solstice time
focus on the return of light and the birth of something precious and holy.
We are offered a time to connect with each other.
Feast
Make Merry
The earth rests, dreams.
We smell wood smoke, spices like cinnamon, clove, cranberries, tangerines and oranges.
Green that never dies celebrated with balsam, pine, spruce, holly.
It is a festival of light.
The Sun -- Son will return.
Light those candles.
Get out the strings of electric lights.
Make the winter season a season of light.
Thank you to Beth for hosting Postcard Friendship Friday each week.

Wishing YOU well, much joy and a Happy Yule!

Brightest Winter Solstice blessings to you, Snap!
Hello Snap! It's a very peaceful and cheerful Christmas/holidays celebration I got from reading your post. I can't wait to be with my family.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year for you and your family :) Happy PFF!
What a pretty card that is.
We are all lit up in readiness here. Bring on the light!
It's a most beautiful card. I love holly. As they do every year, the birds have had all the berries from the bur bush.
Yes of course! Today is the shortest day and the Winter Solstice! What a lovely reminder...Happy PFF...and Merry Xmas!
Though all the leaves haven't fallen, the weather seems right for a first day of winter. I wish you the merriest of days.
