Merry Christmas and Blessed Yuletide!
How is everyone doing this day? Hopefully enjoying wonderful moments with family and creating or passing down traditions.
But, no matter how we all look at it, in the end, we almost celebrate the same thing, it's just done differently in many perspectives.
Yule has been around for centuries. It's a celebration of new beginnings and always started upon the Winter Solstice. It lasts for eleven days of feasting, exchanging gifts, and celebrating with loved ones; and the dates vary each year. This year it started on December 21st and will end upon the New Year, January 1st. In ancient times, it's the celebration of the death and rebirth of the Sun God, sot its the longest day of the year. My Beloved and I were married on the Winter Solstice back in 2017, to signify our own new beginning.
Christmas is a day Christians celebrate with family in remembrance of the birth of Jesus Christ. The gift exchange is that of the gifts from the wise men. It's a time for charity, thoughtfulness, and to be with loved ones.
Even so, I hope you all have a blessed day. And I also pray and send blessings to those who cannot be with their loved ones this year.
Please be safe when traveling, stay healthy, and take care.
Many blessings to you all.
