Between an amazing Christmas (it was great!) and then coming down with some sort of viral throat/cough thing, I nearly forgot to update my journal for Yule!

 But, other than being sick, this whole holiday season has been wonderful!  Even with Preston's crazy work schedule, we've managed to spend some beautiful time together, to exchange mountains of crazy-great gifts, and to spend time with family, having some wonderful meals.  :)

 Stellaluna's Yule celebration was a jewel on the crown of this great holiday season for me.  I'm completely amazed by how close I've grown to our new members so quickly.  It's like they've been here all along.  In a few months,  I've come to see them as family and dear friends.

 Our Yule ritual was really fun and really revealing.  We welcomed the light back, following the myth of Amaterasu, the Japanese Goddess of the Sun, and finding the beauty in ourselves and in each other in mirrors which reflected our light and warmth out into the world.  We chose blessings off our adorable, pink Stellaluna Yule tree, and, naturally, ate lots of good Yule snacks.

 We'll be setting our schedule for the next year soon, so keep an eye on the Events page of the website if you're interested in going to Stellaluna open events.

 Happy holidays, and have a wonderful and blessed New Year!
