Happy Sunday and Happy First Day of Winter! Winter is officially here, and I'm a little excited. Christmas is just four days away. Just like last year, I'm excited about winter this year...maybe even more so. It's Capricorn season, and I'm looking forward to celebrating my birthday next month.
I plan to celebrate the winter solstice by lighting a candle, using a simmer pot kit, going for a walk in the neighborhood, or on the Silver Comet Trail. I also plan to read The Shortest Day by Susan Cooper with Raphael and make hot chocolate for John, the boys, and me.
One tradition I have consistently kept is making a bucket list at the start of every season. It's always fun to make one, and I love documenting my list. As always, I share my list here. Many of the things on my bucket list are things I usually do (traditions, rituals, etc.) or things I keep wanting to do but haven't done. However, there are a few new things on my list. Before I begin to ramble, let's check out my winter bucket list below. Happy Winter Solstice!
