For Tanner.....lol
Celebrating the Winter Solstice and getting rid of cardboard boxes from the garage that I emptied this morning, all in one fell swoop.....
Unfortunately I don't know any prayers, chants or incantations to recite while bonfiring it.

Blessed Be the Light
Wishing all my Pagan friends a Blessed Yule today!
And may the Winter Solstice be the beginning of a renewed year of light in your life.
We can all use more light and goodness in our lives.

And added for reader Meg B. an Ian Anderson Solstice song....
Here's a recipe I fancy for a Yule Wassail.
Recipe for Yule Wassail
3 red apples
3 oz brown sugar
2 pints brown ale, apple cider, or hard cider
1/2 pint dry sherry or dry white wine
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ginger strips or lemon peel
Core and heat apples with brown sugar and some of the ale or cider in an oven for 30 minutes. Put in large pan and add rest of spices and lemon peel, simmer on stove top of 5 minutes. Add most of the alcohol at the last minute so it heats up but does not evaporate. Burgundy and brandy can be substituted to the ale and sherry. White sugar and halved oranges may also be added to taste. Makes enough for eight. Wassail!

Christmas Surprises and Cards
Two days ago now, I greeted the UPS man at the door.
I was expecting some packages this week and he brought me two on that day.
One was #2 Son's main Christmas present but the other one?.....I didn't recognize the store it came from.....disregard the dog's back end in this photo...lol......
Hmmmm......
So I opened the box and found this......
Plus there was a note on the invoice about thanking us for hosting her this past Summer.
It was from Tanner!
That little sneak........lolz
Thank you Tanner for the unexpected Christmas present!!
It is now parked under the tree and awaiting it's unveiling on Dec. 25th.
I must say I think there's a cement block in there.....it weighs enough to be one! lolz
It is finally beginning to look a little like Christmas inside the house.
Some more Christmas cards have flown in.
I tell ya, that card from Sonya Ann was beginning to get lonely......
Here are the new additions to the collection......
From the brother in-law's wife
From my 1st Cousin 1 x removed
From a college friend and her Hubs
From an online friend
From a college friend and his wife
From a childhood friend
Woohoo! We are up to 7 cards. 8-)
And I had a good laugh when I saw the envelope from one of these cards.
I guess Hubs and I are just sooo important and well-known in our town that people don't even need to use our last name(s) when they mail us anything!
Incriminating information has been removed. Just look at whom the card is addressed to......
Heck, Hubs and I have ascended into the strata of Celebrities known by just their first names now.....
Cher, Sting, Bono, Madonna, Elvis, Bing, Charro and now.....ME! lolz
Or maybe the real reason is because our town is just so danged small......nah, couldn't be that...... 8-))
Ok, lots to do today.
We have to pick up the repaired vehicle(ouch!)when #2 Son gets out of school and I have a load to take to the Salvation Army Store but I need to finish getting it recorded on paper before I go.
I am off like the wind.....
Do you send Christmas cards?
Do you enjoy receiving them?
Have you ever gotten a surprise Christmas present?
