Erich and I are packing up this  morning to head to my mom’s for the weekend.  While I celebrate Yule religiously, my celebrations are really based on family traditions more than anything… so I’ll be celebrating Yule via Christmas.  It’s honestly all the connection to family in my opinion, and differences in faith should never come between family members.

My mom’s side of the family is Polish and does a full Wigilia feast for Christmas Eve.  I’ll see about taking some photos quietly through the evening because it really IS a wonderful tradition.

I may not have good internet access while I’m gone, however, so all updates to the WIPocalypse participant lists will have to wait until my return (unless I get really, really lucky).  I’ll still be reachable by email thanks to my phone.

So in case I don’t have the chance to say it – I hope that all of my readers have a wonderful holiday, regardless of what you believe and how you celebrate, and that it’s full of love and laughter in the company of family and friends.

(being snarky) Remember… Axial tilt is the reason for the season…. (/snark)

It’s a snowy one here – it’s been snowing almost consistently since Friday afternoon. We’re up to about a foot, give or take an inch, and it’s coming down pretty heavy now. Supposedly it’s going to change to rain later, although honestly I hope it doesn’t. Since it’s the first snow of the season here, there’s a pretty, peaceful feel about it. I’d love it to be a white Christmas this year.

After then, it can go away. :)

I’ve received quite a few cards this week – thank you all! :)
