Happy Winter Solstice! Happy Yule!
A Winter Solstice Blessing
May you find peace in the promise of the solstice night,
That each day forward is blessed with more light.
That the cycle of nature,
unbroken and true,
Bring faith to your soul and well-being to you.
Rejoice in the darkness,
in the silence find rest,
And many the days that follow be abundantly blessed.

And many the days that follow be abundantly blessed.
