“Sun Stands Still”
The term Solstice comes from the Latin for “sun
stands still.” In winter it is the shortest day and
longest night, when the sun appears to be at its
lowest point in the sky. Traditional Winter Solstice cel
ebrations include the lighting of bonfires, candles, and
Yule logs, the gathering of evergreens and holly, and
the hanging of mistletoe. Druids considered mistletoe a
symbol of friendship and peace, because it grew on the
great oak without doing it harm. In northern Europe,
mistletoe was reputed to turn
enemies into friends.
“Santa Claus has the
right idea; visit
people once a year. ”
c% To make a Yute log burn longer, soak It In water first
and keep it well back in the fireplace.
