december blot.. with snow!

{A}ll of november has been warm.. meaning it's been raining(!), and i've been really sick with flu half of december, so my jul spirit only kicked in this weekend. jul without snow, is simply not jul, but snow is slowly coming. even the horses are upset.

i made gingerbreads this past weekend and i've started early on the beverages, elf porridge and exotic spices. usually there is blot all of december, it's a little stressful to only have this one last week to do everything. when december is over, the blot ends!

Darkest day of the year is on thursday(!). I have so many candles lit. its just very depressing(for a little while) to go to sleep in the dark and wake up in the dark. luckily its only for a few weeks. but where there is darkness there is also light, and it's coming back now! happy winter solstice!
