And the holiday collabs continue. This year the 8th (and final) night of Chanukah very conveniently fell on the (winter) solstice. So we got to combine 2 different fire rituals in one super fun (and luckily not super cold) night. We're still working out the details of our solstice celebration, but we've got the key element of beautifully decorated log containing each person's "leave behind in this year/bring into the next one" written and folded and tucked in notes that we then burn in our fire pit... and also that somehow solstice bonfire is the perfect time to burn up excess yard waste as well. Not so sure that's a formal celebration element more just a happy coincidence? Top 2 pics are the majority of our celebrants and aforementioned log, and bottom ones are the various fires. Darkest day is now behind us, nowhere to go but light!
