Nobody likes winter right?  Wrong!    There are lots of enjoyable things about Winter.  

If possible light a small fire in your backyard.  Take a light blue candle to represent the cold, and a white candle to represent ice/snow.  Light them both and sit before them with a pen and paper.  Write down all the things you like about winter, or cold weather.  Things like snuggling up in front of a roaring fire, drinking hot chocolate, snowball fights etc.  

When you have finished your list, extinguish the candles and throw them into the fire, to symbolise the heat overcoming the cold.  Hold a small Winter feast around the fire (You can do this with friends as part of your Yule ritual if you like).  Toast marshmallows, have a thermos of hot soup or hot chocolate, and enjoy the warmth of the Winter fire (You can’t do this in summer!).   

If you are having a group ceremony, give small gifts around the fire to celebrate the Yule season.  Finally, hang your list up so that you can see it when you feel blue.
