Winter Solstice part 2
This evening we had our family winter solstice celebration. I invited my parents over to join in our feast (they came last year as well) and we had a lovely relaxing time.

As we all sat down at the table in the dark, I lit our centre candle that represented our "family/sun". We then each shared special things that we appreciate about winter and what we love best. Then I lit my own candle using the centre candle, I lit Danielle's, she lit Simons, he lit Grampies, who then lit Nathan's, who then lit Nannie's.
We then ate our feast!

Oh, and I planted another 20 or so garlic cloves this morning as well!

Your celebration sounds lovely. Quick question re: garlic - do you plant it straight in the ground or in pots?
Hi Katie, I put mine straight into the ground. Usually well prepared with chicken poo and compost. It just needs to be in a well draining area so they don't sit in soggy soil.
