We held an Appalachian Pagan Alliance Yule lunch this year.
Alas, our 'ladies who lunch' APA events have been rare the last few years.
but I am going to try to host more than just the annual Costumed Brunch Samahain event going forward,
so I started that new trend with the Yule lunch in December.
With first semester exams prep work at the High school, Sybilsue's PATS (Pagan and Tolerant Students) group didn't hold a Yule ritual,
but they are continuing to be active and gaining members on the facebook group page,
where posts from Sybilsue and myself are educating them on the yuletide holiday history and practices.

I feel Kuan Yin's arms
Gently encircle my heart
I know all is well
by Tanila Price
I look at my life
and feel exhilaration.
I am truly blessed!!

Time comes like a thief
in the night to steal my sleep
silent uncaring

Holidays are fun!
Solstice, Christmas, Yule, and more
All are holy, too.

Peaceful silent night
Mother Goddess births the Sun
Now it's light once more.

painting silver into our
home, granting blessings.
