Ardyn and I are baking like mad women until some unknown time later today (Thursday the 22), wrapping a few things and then leaving to housesit at m y sisters over the weekend. We are also, sometime tonight, delivering 4 of the 6 baskets of 7 kinds of baked goods to various and sundry people.
Seriously, 6 baskets total ends up being something more than 500 cookies, and 12 mini loaves of bread. We are batshit insane, but damn we are having fun doing it.
Christmas eve and Christmas are likely to be quiet, just the two of us and possible intimate friends on one day or the other.
We light Hanukkah candles all this week and sometime over the weekend we will do our Solstice ritual as well.
I love this time of year, and I usually come out the other side, the end of January ready to fall over for a week or two.
We've done small amounts of shopping and we've handmade most of the family gifts, so it's shaping up to be a quietly fun, tiring and bitterly cold, season.
I will more than likely be appearing more in Lismore after everything is baked, wrapped, bought, trimmed, and had its bow put on top, but until then, if you need me for anything you can reach me through Asha, Ani, Naurel or Glasere, and I'll make an extra effort to show up or something.
Bright fires warm the cold days and bright lights cheer weary hearts, no matter what or how or even if you celebrate anything or everything(like we do).
Happy Holidays,
Ursa and Ardyn
