Winter Solstice, Yule, Mid-Winter or Alban Arthan is the celebration of the rebirth of the sun after the longest night of the year. It is one of the eight solar festivals comprising the Wheel of the Year. Nourished in the womb of the Goddess during the dark time of the year, the sun symbolises the God born anew. Plants that remain evergreen such as fir trees, holly and mistletoe are used as decorations. A good time to reflect on the past year and make plans for the new year.
Wishing everyone joy, peace, good health, prosperity in the new year! May all your dreams come true!

Indeed she did. In fact, I caused her to lose her place in her book on a couple of occasions!
