Okie guys, I haven't celebrated Yule on the day in a while. I usually celebrate Yule on Christmas because it's easier for me to include my family judgement free! As long as you have a heart full of love and warmth that's all that matters. Sidenote, my way I practice Wicca is on the very edge that determines Wicca from Paganism. But this is just the way I enjoy myself. I hope everyone has a Blessed Yule and a merry Christmas!
