This is my favourite time of year. It's the point at which we, in the northern hemisphere reach that all important tipping point where the days are now beginning to get longer.
We have reach mid-winter, from here in its all onward to Spring.
We have survived to this point so we celebrate with a fresh Yule log to see us through to Springtime, eat heartily and use up the meats and perishables saved from summer, tell tales to each other of past conquests, of tall tales, of ghosts and demons and faery folk.
Have a wonderful festive season everyone.
