The Winter Solstice is here.  

"The December solstice has influenced the lives of many people over the centuries, particularly through art, literature, mythology and religion." 

Wishing a Blessed Yule to my Pagan blogging friends!

The longest night, of the year...

  Tonight will be the longest night of the year.  And it is the Eve Of Yule.

"Burning Yule logs is a tradition dating back long before the birth of Jesus. In pre-Christian times, the Yule log was burned in the home hearth on the winter solstice..."

Not many today, go out and bring in the Yule Log, like 'Father Christmas' is doing, above.   :-)

But you could have this kind of a Yule Log.  A "Buche De Noelle" or "Yule Log"...  Yummmm...

If you are like "Uncle A." and long for shorter nights, and longer days....   Then you may wish to rejoice, that tonight is the longest night of the year.   And that with tomorrow's Solstice, the days will slowly begin to get longer again...  And the nights shorter.

Personally, I don't mind longer nights...   But then, I don't have to go out to work, in the dark.  Or return from work, in the dark.  :-)

Anyway, Happy Eve Of Yule!!!
