Winter Traditions - Wishes and Candle Light

Yesterday we made a Wishing Tree out of my seasonal tree



I made cards tied with ribbons to write the wishes on with glitter pens


Here are our first wishes


Today for Winter Solstice, at sunset, I lit candles all over the house and turned out all the lights.


We ate dinner by candlelight, we lingered and told lots of jokes. We played games, then Zoe went to bed with a candle.


Merry Solstice!

    Miakoda - when you come over you can make a wish. :)

    Mariposa - Thanks! I want to plant a hawthorn next year and make a real wishing tree.

    What a lovely idea. I need to file it away -- usually by the time of the solstice DH and I are so light-deprived it is a wonder we get through the day!
