Yule!
Re: Yule!
I'm going to make my own spin on the Yule log by decorating a tree branch with solar symbols and using a candle for the fire...as I have no fireplace. It will be used in my Yule ritual 
aside from that, I'll probably do some other little Yule activities. Of course, much of the Yule season is spent with family because of Christmas celebrations, so I'm trying to keep it simple. I'm excited though and I'll add to this when I know for sure what I'm doing lol

Re: Yule!
Ahhhh so many to choose from.
1.) Stay up all night Solstice Eve. and Greet the Sun on Solstice morning
2.) Do a mock birthing ritual
3.) Have a battle between the Oak King and the Holly King
4.) Have everyone in the circle hold a candle, you wait in silence in the pitch dark, then...from the East a match sparks, the first candle is lit in the East and you pass the light on to the person on the left, 'till you have gone all the way round, singing a Sun song of some kind. ..Or... as each candle lights..hold an om tone...that is pretty splendid when you have a bunch of people, and it's a great way to raise your cone of power, (so ask for peace or something first!)
5.) Decorate ornaments with empowering affirmations.
6.) Bon -fire to throw papers with wishes for the new cycle.
7.) Secret gift exchange (set price limit)
8. decorate a tree in the wilderness with animal friendly food (berries, fruits, nuts, seed balls) do your ritual around the tree.
9.) Sing songs
10.) Make yule incense...charge with the energy of new growth
11.) Decorate a Yule log with a healing and protective spell for the home
!2.) Gather mistletoe and form it into a love, good will, and longevity charm, tie with red ribbon...hang in the house
Well there is some 12 days of Yuletide for you...back later! Brightest Blessings for a special and sacred holiday season,

Re: Yule!
Firebird, amazing words of wisdom, as always! I think the staying up all night solstice eve sounds like an amazing idea...it is great for the in-the-broom-closet people who can't have a ritual due to privacy issues as well because it allows them to celebrate while everyone else is asleep. Oh, and please everyone, this is going to be a special Yule because we'll be entering the age of Aquarius, so everyone send some positive energy into the world through the Yule ritual! We need it as a whole!!!!
