What would be a great way to celebrate Yule, or Winter Solstice?

I'm a tree hugging, dirt worshipping Pagan at heart. What are some great ways to celebrate Yule this December 21st?

I have also heard that this will be an intense Winter Solstice since there will be a full moon eclipse happening and Mercury will be in Retrograde. What ways can I celebrate to ensure a terrific time?

How do YOU celebrate this ancient Holiday?

Whenever someone tries to shove Christmas at me I turn it into Yule. So for me the good stuff like eggnog, lighted trees, Holiday Barley Wines, and especially my favorite - mistletoe - are all Yuletide.

I need to have some bumper stickers made:
"Keep Christ out of our Yules!"

At any rate, don't forget the mistletoe. Some people get it mixed up with holly these days. Holly is red, mistletoe is white.

My favorite way is to gather all my friends/family together for a potluck and bonfire(as opposed to the whole yule log thing). we've done a gift exchange and such as well. We also tend to use this time to clean the fireplace and lay a new fire which is left unlit until dawn when it gets lit from the big fire outside. the party usually is an all nighter and ends with a toast to the new sun.

hope this helps.

Perhaps you and your friends could wear decorative masks, legend has it that in Newfoundland that people dressed in costume and visited their neighbors offering gifts of food, dolls, incense and such.

Or you could carry pine boughs, holly branches, other greenery and go door to door singing old carols .

Light luminaries to place around a large tree as you and your friends sing, dance, read poetry, and toast to the solstice.
