"Its not nearly as romantic as your gifts but....I had Ulysses go to my father's house and bring this and a generator for you!" Alex was suddenly shy, knowing that the gift wasn't enough- wasn't nearly as enough as he'd given her so much but she also knew how obsessed he was with the dragon eggs and how rare they were. "It's the extra large one- they use it for orstrages in zoos." She pulled out the book she'd been reading on how to take care of it too. How to check it and when to turn the egg so the embryo didn't stick to the inside of the shell. "Its weird...I know."
"Not weird, what a wise gift, Alex!"
He examined the incubator admiringly. "And a large one too, capable of housing... ostriches you say? Is that a sort of animal? Zoo? Anyways, it's simply wonderful for my future dragon hatchling. I can begin my research in earnest now."
Taking Alex's hands again, he met her eyes sincerely. "Do not doubt how truly grateful I am, my darling. An incubator is a tool that will aid my studies on dragons for years to come. And that you took the time to consider my interests, well...it shows the depth of your care for me. Thank you love."

Some Yule ideas for those limited in how they can celebrate
(broom closet, lack of materials, disability, whatever. all these require minimal effort and materials)
Drink herbal tea, or mix things like cinnamon into your tea/coffee
Listen to music about Yule or instrumental music with bells
Wear colors/makeup matching Yule colors (red, green, and gold)
Pray/meditate with Yule/Yule correspondences in mind
Say/think/write Yule chants
Make plans for how you'll enjoy the return of the sun (whether that's planting a garden or feeling it's warmth on your skin or just seeing it's brightness in your window)
Think about what the return of the sun means to you
Do some self reflection or shadow work (if you're in the mindset where it'd be healthy for you)
Work with deities that correspond with Yule
If you cannot use candles/fire, make sure your house is brightly lit in other ways (if you have LED lights it'd be cool to light them in Yule colors!)
And lastly, wish other pagans a blessed Yule.
Blessed Yule, hope you all find ways to celebrate! May your days be bright.

𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐘𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐝𝐞!
I hope everyone is content, with their loved ones and safe.
My heart goes out to all those who cannot have that. I haven't spoken a lot about politics on my blog but I want everyone to know that I am Pro-Palestine, that Black Lives Matter and everyone should have a roof over their head and food on the table. There are many problems in the world, pointedly in Congo and Yemen.
I want to take the time to keep these people in my thoughts and hopefully bring awareness.
I'm also sending love to those who don't feel comfortable with their family right now. Who are in their rooms because it's all too much. I want you to know that you've got this. It will get better.

Happy holidays to everyone, but specifically to those for whom the holidays are difficult. Be it a time of loss, bitter memories, loneliness, or something else. Here’s to those people for whom the holidays have lost their warmth, even if they can’t explain why. You are valid, you are loved, and I am grateful for your existence. We’ll get through this together, somehow.

In the process of creating a physical manifestation of my 2023 Yule Tomte
He is coming along very nicely, just need to Finnish some painting, but until he is finished, here is an idea of what he will look like, as provided by a fun little AI that my wife found.
He has not yet reveled his name to me yet, but I do hope he gets along with the other Tomte that are already living here
