Happy Yule!



Happy Yule everybody! This is the day that Justin and I are celebrating our Christmas together. So I'm sitting here after eating French Toast that Justin made with eggnog at a candlelit table with delicious fresh-ground Noisette coffee from Timothy's. I've been spoiled rotten by my honey and I hope he feels the same. He's been running around singing "Happy Yule Be Happy Yule Be Happy...." (sing along and discover the double meaning, hehe)

Yule is making so much sense to me this year. I'm understanding it in a way that I never did before. Here we are in the middle of winter, the darkest, longest night, and we're taking the time to remind ourselves of all of our blessings. We are warm. We are loved and loving. We have more then enough, enough to share and celebrate. And so the enveloping winter, in all her majesty, gives us a chance to cozy up and smile, to enjoy her presence and remember the light to come.

Happy Yule!
