I mull wine and cider. We watch the cardinals in the trees and keep their feeders full. We hang peanut butter/seed pinecones in the trees. We play Medieval Christmas music throughout the house. We sponsor a family who is in need and provide for them. We have an outdoor fire pit we like to roast marshmallows over...a lot. And we give thanks, as always. And thanks to you, Cate. I love it here in this community of kindred spirits!

Of course, if I got up earlier there would be more time in the sun :)lol. But it reminds me of how fleeting the light is... How fleeting our days are... It is a melancholy time... And yet the Winter Solstice is my favorite time of year! The real reason for the season. And I reflect on that...Mystic Meanderinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09746429719911446865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897842.post-3434868042995601982012-12-02T16:54:06.365-05:002012-12-02T16:54:06.365-05:00Awaiting the light :-)Awaiting the light :-)Pienosolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10112458687354000170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897842.post-75816705339514134872012-12-02T12:22:33.706-05:002012-12-02T12:22:33.706-05:00One of my daily pleasures is visiting you here.

Thank you for the link. I really liked reading about and knowing that there are a lot of us lighting candles, no matter what our tradition. <br /><br />I have a lovely book, "Night Visions" by Jan Richardson that I like to travel with during Advent. I am so very grateful for a season that reminds me that sometimes I need to wait and allow things to unfold as they are meant to and will. <br /><br />Love to you this day, Cate!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02097794673233325044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897842.post-22758256815794965372012-12-02T08:39:49.087-05:002012-12-02T08:39:49.087-05:00You fill this gray time with bright jewels of acti...You fill this gray time with bright jewels of activity.
