December has been such a whirl-wind of activity and I am overdue for posting a blog on abbey happenings. This Sunday before the Winter Solstice (Dec 22nd) and this moon cycle’s full moon (December 25th), I decided to write our December in lyrics to the twelve days of Christmas.
It should be noted that the Sisters, tired of the fake war on Christmas touted by Faux News, decided to give them their badly wanted and needed war on Christmas (else they wouldn’t talk about it so much) and this year, we are celebrating Yule Tijd — Yule Season. We still have a Yule Tree and wreaths, pre-cursors to the Christian-created holiday. We still have gifts and candles and we still sing songs and over-indulge in all our favorite things.
We still gather round the candle-lit table, hold hands, bow our heads and give thanks. It was a good year for the Sisters. We have worked hard and deserve a holiday rest.
