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.

 
 

THE 12 DAYS & NIGHTS

(MY FAMILY'S) TRADITIONS
1. Yuletide Carols - These are fun to sing while you light the yule log!  Growing up Southern Baptist Christian, I would always go out and sing Christmas carols.
2. Baked goods - Check out my Pinterest board to view some yummy treats and inspiration.
