Yule Time

Okay so today is yule.
I didn't do much because I live in a not so pagan house. My family isn't super religous but I didn't want to go through all of the blah blah. So to anyone out there that is in the broom closet, or out but still confused about others feeling like I am here are some of the things I did today, plus some extra things that you can do. Just some sugfestions is all.

1. have a moment under the misletoe to yourself(just walk under it with the goddess in mind)
2. light a candle(if you don't have an yule apprpriate ones i don't think the goddess will mind, sure she'll understand)
3. sing
4. decorate the yule tree(if ur family already has up a christmas tree, the tend to it;trim it, rearrange something. I'm sure no one will notice at this point)
5. Have sunflower seeds, and share some with the birds.
6. make a donation to the local shelter
7. bake(unless you're like us and are re doing the kitchen
8. read. anything, something that moves you. i love harry potter. love the magical theme too. Sweep series is supposed to be a great pagan series
9. collect pine cones. that can be fun. make up a games, or just do it to enjoy nature. ur parent's could still be nosy if ur an indoor-y type though
10. and i feel the simplest one of all....u don't have to feel weird with ur parent asking about you lighting candles(my mom has issues with fire and I'm almost 22) or u singing too loud. or maybe you stood under the mistletoe a second too long. this one is so easy Eat an Apple <3

Easy little top ten things to do to celebrate and make it around the rents and their raydar.
Do one or all.

just thought I'd put up a post about yule because I understand being a pagan teen. i'm not a teenager anymore but thats not the point lol.
I'm not that far off. Yes I live in a christain house and I've always loved christmas time, so i'm not saying that people should stop celebrating and doing things the way they know, but incorporate the 21st and the 25th together <3

and I'm looking up information on Kwanzaa because I know it has something to do with African Americas, or coloreds or however you want to look at that. Forgive me for my ignorance but I will start my research soon and maybe i'll be celebrating that too. SO watch out.

Hope all is well with everyone and )O( Blessed  Be <3
