More than 700 Pagans braved the cold to watch the sun rise at Stonehenge. A pretty Pagan girl contemplates the festivities as the people showed up to beat drums, ring bells and just generally have a good old Pagan time. People wore everything from full length fur cloaks to modern quilted ski jackets. Most of them had spent the night there waiting for the Sun to end the longest night. I wish I could have been there, but, then again, I had a warm night here. I gave everyone their Yule gifts and said, just open them and wish me Happy Yule. No one in my family did, but, it matters not. My friends did and my daughter will when she gets here. And my bells rang at sunrise and my Yule lights and fires burned through the night and the neighborhood can think whatever they want. I may not be at Stonehenge, but, I am not in the closet. Only brooms belong in closets. Heh.

Hope you had a beautiful night and many more to follow.
Happy Yule.
(and screw the family)
Thanks. I did. My mom asked if there were any other Pagans in the world. LMAO! No, ma, I made it up.
Always thought my mother was crazy, and then I started reading the tales of your life. Didn't realize how (kinda) good I had it. She was still a crazy, but not in the same category as yours. Mine only had a little 'c', yours has a capital "C".
She's dumb too, which is a double whammy, but, lately she's been bearable.
We can't pick our moms! My kids included...LOL! That was a cute post. Love the pic. Your mom is being kind because she knows she must. Hopefully she will discover thats a way better way to live your life. No stress for her either. If people would only just realize it helps them too. I cannot get that thru my husbands thick skull. I am a Cancer. I do NOT like any conflict, I will do anything to avoid it. You need calm & no stress. At least she gets that part! Take care.

sorry, got my pics mixed up. This post is NOT cute. It's beautiful. I was referring to the box of ornaments. Jeesh...tomorrow is my Friday this week. I need it!

Happy Yule, DD!
I have been on the fence for years, sometimes agnostic and sometimes atheist. So this is always an odd time for me and I am not sure what to teach the kids. I want them to make their own minds up and not be forced into something. After reading about your mom I am sure she is the long lost sister of my father!
Tish, I agree with atheists. There are no god's or goddess's. But, there is some kind of natural universal energy that unites us all and there seems to be something after this life. I've seen too many things to believe there isn't. And it seems to be good. Sorry your dad is like my mom. That's awful.
DD,
You've just stated how I feel. Strange, I never really thought of myself as an atheist I believe that there is too much energy in a human body to just disappear completely. For a lack of a better word, I feel when we die, we leave our "essence" all around us. If anyone understands what I'm trying to say---please help me with the word I am looking for. "Essence" is as close as I can get--but not quite there!
Spirit?
I understand Bayou. Energy never disipates and we are made of energy.
