Today is the shortest day of the year, and Yule! I love Yule! Most of my family isn’t really any one religion. Most tend to take a little here, adapt a little there and make something that’s just theirs if they believe in religion at all. I’ve always leaned towards a mix of Wicca and Hinduism.
Instead of doing a regular advent calendar I adapted the concept to a 12 days of Yule garland for my little one. I don’t think he has quite caught on to why, but he got really excited when I told him he got to open a box everyday.
