Ideas for celebrating the Winter Solstice
Mood:
Lanterns, candles, bonfire. Google a Winter Solstice playlist. Let your home darken with the setting sun and eat/read/celebrate by the light of candles, a fire, Christmas lights.
Food and drink:
Wassail, yule log cakes, spiced cakes or cookies, and seasonal fruits are traditional, but you can use your imagination. Our family also made a simple charcuterie board for the main "meal" last year.
Crafts:
Research simple homemade Winter Solstice lanterns.
Slice and dry orange circles (symbolic of the sun) with cinnamon and use for ornaments.
Make edible ornaments for animals and decorate a tree or bush outside with them.
Activities:
Read winter solstice stories with young children, or share winter solstice poetry with an older crowd.
Write down the things you want to let go of on a small piece of paper and throw it in the fire.
Plant a bulb or seeds and think about what you’d like to nurture in the coming year/spring.
Eat by candlelight.
Bundle up and go for a nighttime stroll either with flashlights or candles.
