Stephen L. Thompson @oneoveralpha (434) • Brookville, Pennsylvania 25 Dec 15

I find a random word by flipping through a dictionary or using a random word generator and write a quick – often silly – little post about it. # “Christmas or Christmas time.” That seems pretty straight forward. To one and...

belindayhughes @belindayhughes (1096) • United States 21 Dec 12

I know what the traditional Christmas dishes are, but what are you supposed to cook for Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Yule, Solstice and so on? And how can those dishes be made vegan (no animal products)? I'm still fairly new at being vegan,...

What are you doing for Yule this year?

lillake @lillake (1630) • United States 6 Dec 09

I'm just curious what others are doing for Yule or Solstice this year? We are keeping it very simple. A little baking, a little crafting, looking at lights. I'm hoping it will snow, but I doubt it will.
