December 26, 2013
The days are short like my hair, nights as long as my sister's hair. I am filling up with sadness at the dismal shortage of blog posts here. I intended for this year to make F&A cozy and a place for memories. But life got in the way. Not that it was busy or anything, just life in general.
I haven't lit the yule log. It is just sitting near my non-working fireplace. No cookies have been baked. No Yuletide carols near the bonfires. Not even a pinch of play in the cold air. Life, is... so odd.
It was my twenty first birthday last Saturday, and plans took a complete 360 towards horribility. Friends are becoming lost, family is leaving me behind while in a way... this is a way of progressing forward. Yesterday was Christmas & My sister decided to spend it with a family who threatened me on facebook. Where is the logic in that?
And finally, where does 2014 lead me? Hopefully somewhere great. I want to travel and leave this place behind. Discovering the world is my only comfort & Joy.

Yule & Modra's night (Mother's night)
Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I know not a lot of folks read my blog, but I'd like to post more regardless of the traffic.
Today is my 21st Birthday! While I don't drink much, I will make an exception for this special occasion. Thing is, the 21st (which IS today) is Yule. So, I will be celebrating the two together.
I have learned that Yule spans out for 12 days, hence the origins for "The 12 days of Christmas". So, what better to let you all know a little bit about the lore, days/nights of the year, as well as some websites who will be able to provide more details about the Sabbat.
Since I am going to be busy tonight, I thought I would give a little insight on the holiday. I have sourced out pretty much all of my information, and will link the sources after each passage.
