The other day I was putting up decorations for the winter season. I put out holly and ivy garlands, snowflake themed items and snowmen. I am yet to get our little potted Yule tree for this year. I have pulled out the sun shaped candles and holders to celebrate the Solstice.
I began wondering what you all were up to, how you celebrate this time of year.

I'm afraid I won't be doing much besides partaking in family gatherings. I recently moved, and while we have a Christmas tree (funny I still call it Christmas, but it's comfortable at this point) I don't have any decorations. We're probably going to wait to buy decorations when they're on sale.
Ultimately, nothing unusual I'm disappointed to say.

Dollar stores are also good for holiday decor, that is where half of mine is from, the rest were hand me downs, gifts or souvenirs. I made our wreath out of the boughs from my parents big tree and some holly I found growing wild.
I finally got our big fake tree up, and our little potted one on my altar. Though I have to keep spraying our new kitten to keep her from noming on it. They are both lit and ornamented though my daughter and I still need to string the popcorn and cranberries.
I still call it Christmas too half the time to, it is just comfortable and ingrained.
Hope you are enjoying your new home.

Alba Arthuan? Arthur's Scotland? just curious: I know that Alba is Gaelic for Scotland, and Albion is England, and Arthuan? Arthur?
What is the meaning behind that phrase (so that I don't destroy it by guessing XD )

Actually I am wondering that myself. I had original gotten it from a mythology book, however I have since found the author to be rather unreliable. Don't worry too much over it, as I am now not even sure if it has any basis in fact or if they made it up.

They probably found that as a Middle English phrase that sounded cool and stuck it in, then huh? xd
Alright, I will stick with it meaning Arthur's England/Scotland/Britain (Since they actually called it Britain/Briton/Brittane/etc in the Medieval Period, even though it wasn't until 1707 that England and Scotland combined to form Great Britain. There's your piece of history for the day! Unless you already knew that...) xd ^^
