So I did. (Knowing they will come out a tad shorter for having been temporarily neglected.)<br /><br />Love the green growth and the promise of the flowers to come. And you get perfume with yours! Happy post-Solstice and in the new year!AlisonHhttp://spindyeknit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699017079127427420.post-18598343262927317052009-12-23T09:06:54.028-08:002009-12-23T09:06:54.028-08:00My dad celebrates Yule every year, and also has th...My dad celebrates Yule every year, and also has the candle tradition. He lights a candle for each member of the family who happens to be in the house, brings it to you, says a blessing, and then you let it burn until you go to bed that night. It's one of my favorite traditions from growing up.<br /><br />Have a wonderful holiday season, and a very happy new year!Chandlerhttp://www.anagram-press.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699017079127427420.post-59796005977491788752009-12-22T08:05:09.164-08:002009-12-22T08:05:09.164-08:00Hmm.

A nice reminder of the life beneath the snow (at least here, where the snow has settled in and won't disappear until April).<br /><br />Happy Solstice!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11175905906542647655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699017079127427420.post-58233968977327736072009-12-22T06:35:10.289-08:002009-12-22T06:35:10.289-08:00Life in the IT world never settles down, does it? ...Life in the IT world never settles down, does it?

I wake up the morning after the solstice and realize that every day will get just a little bit longer. It's a cheering thought as we go into the cold dark days of winter.<br /><br />Happy Holidays to you and yours!Donna Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07877384848664758611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699017079127427420.post-16999529856717897062009-12-21T22:01:28.603-08:002009-12-21T22:01:28.603-08:00Love the photos of your narcissi - amazing.
