First Day of Yule (remember Yule is all about having fun at the darkest time of the year)
Winter
Solstice, the First Day of Yule,
Twelve days,
ending in festive misrule.
Deck the
home, with ivy and mistletoe,
Erect the
Yule tree, with candles aglow.
A remnant of,
the previous years log,
Light, the
Yule bower as the prologue.
Thunder god
Thunor’s holy, tree is oak,
Blessings be
on, his name by all folk.
Oak is the
best, will last and burn true,
If you
haven’t a log, a candle will do.
Saturnalia as, the Romans would say,
Slaves
and masters, tomfoolery day.
