Happy Winter Solstice or Yule.
The sun

will rise here in about 4 hours but it is so damp & drizzly I doubt it will be much of a sunrise. We celebrated last night with a lovely family meal hosted by our local Indian restaurant. For the first time in years we haven't had a bonfire, but I did light some candles.
The ancient Norse lit a log

on the eve of the winter solstice that burnt for 12 days, just in case the sun did not rise in the morning. From that we now have the tradition of a chocolate cake!
