Dec 21st will be the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere.

As some versions tell it, Sunna (the sun) is chased across the sky by the wolf, Sköll (Treachery). The wolf comes closest on this day. Eventually it will catch and eat her, leaving the world in darkness. But this time, one hopes, she will escape and gain distance and bring us a great summer.

We've got more cold months ahead of us, but this evening I'm toasting the return of light.

Cheers.

And a merry Yule to you!

I spent last night (longest night of the year) building a fire for my yule log and drinking mead & feasting. We'll do gifts this morning, a big dinner tonight and Ive got enough mead to stay pretty buzzed all day today.

Horray for the Sun and nights end! Let the merryment begin!

Nice. Do you make your own Mead? Something I've been wanting to do once I have time to take on a new project.

No I had to buy it this year but im definitly going to make some for next year's Yule. It seems pretty easy, just a bunch of honey and water. Im gonna try and get it from a guy with bees down the road.
