We don't celebrate Christmas. Not because of any religious reasons but simply because, culturally, we are not used to it and it doesn't mean anything.
New Year's, however, is a really big deal for us. This is the day where we exchange the best gifts of the entire year, engage in a veritable culinary marathon, and party all night, morning, and sometimes next afternoon long.
So for those of you who will be celebrating tomorrow and the day after: have fun, enjoy yourselves, and come back to Clarissa's blog as soon as possible. :-)
In the meanwhile, I will be sharing some details of my holiday preparations. Here, for instance, is the picture of my New Year's tree. I don't know why the tree came out so skinny, but I still like it.

I celebrate Yule, which is the Winter Solstice. I sometimes think I would like to celebrate Perihelion, the day when the Earth is closest to the sun, but I never actually have. If I recall correctly, it is January 3, but I could be off a little. Both Xmas and New Year's Day seem a bit arbitrary for me.
I like a Yule tree, but my teaching schedule prevents me doing anything about having one. Your New Year tree is beautiful! Thanks for sharing it!
Happy New Year to you.
