Wow, things heavenly come in threes? It’s probably always thus, but I’ve never noticed quite so obviously before a whole raft of heavenly celebration:
- Winter solstice: 21 December, the winter festival of light
- New Moon: early hours of 24 December, the monthly rite of the goddess
- Christmas Day
- Boxing Day (26 December): being one of the days for wassailing your fruit trees
- New Year’s Day: being another of the days on which one should wassail fruit trees
Looks like there’s going to be lots of dancing naked round the garden in the next few days. 😉
Only if you want a nasty case of frostbite her in Lincolnshire!
Shame I can’t type! Of course ‘her’ should have been ‘here’. It’s now not nearly as cold but misty so no one would see you.
