M/L/FT-Solstice

Trying something a little different for this group – I hope you will all bear with me!

Within our group members we have a wonderful variety of beliefs and faiths, and I thought it would be nice to have a swap to celebrate the Winter Solstice. Slightly out of group theme, but let’s give it a go!

The Solstice this year is celebrated on the 22nd December, so I am setting send by date as 23rd November to give the post plenty of time!

We will send out partners six items, which are;-

• A note explaining how you will be celebrating the Solstice (even if it is cuddled up on the sofa!)
• A candle to provide light in the darkness. (can be scented, but doesn’t have to be – not just a plain tealight!)
• An item of food for sharing with others – could be chocolate, savoury snacks such as nuts etc.
• An item of greenery to bring the outside in – i.e. holly, ivy etc. (obviously if sending international it cannot be live – try and find a nice faux item)
• A small gift – can be shop bought, or hand made.
• Something to decorate your dwelling – a small ornament, garland etc. –think Solstice not Santa!

Any questions etc. comment below or PM me. Please note – this is a celebration of the Winter Solstice – not Christmas!!! I am running a separate Christmas swap Please try and make sure that the items you send don’t scream out Christmas!
