Pagan holiday’s are fun cus no one can figure out if they should preface their holiday greatings with “happy” “merry” or “blessed”
Merry Christmas/yule
I wish everyone a merry little Christmas! But I especially want these people to know that they are not alone. That they should feel hugged and that someone is thinking of them because it's not self evident:
-to have a family or loved ones around you
-to be jolly and happy at this time because everyone else seems to be
- to have a save and cozy home to celebrate in
- to be able to celebrate the foods or the people around you, altough they're there
- not to feel overhelmed by the music, the lights or the positive feelings of others
- not to struggle at this day cause off loss
- to be able to afford a celebration like you want to
- to have these days off from work
Please be gentle to yourself and don't ask too much of yourself just to be part of it! If you feel like celebrating this day do it like it's best for you. If you don't feel like celebrating these days or these days are even a time of mourning for you, don't feel yourself pressured to celebrate it in the first place!
Please keep in mind that having a jolly little christmas isn't self evident!

ORANGE GARLAND
Take 4 or 5 oranges and slice them into circles; thinner slices make it easier to dry
Place slices in rows on a baking sheet
Place sheets into 200° F oven
Check and flip slices every hour until dry
Let cool, then use a needle, chopstick, or something similar to push two holes through the flesh of the orange (NOT THE RIND! It will fall apart)
String the oranges onto a piece of string or jute
You now have a complete Yule orange decoration! String it on a tree, hang in front of a window, or use as an altar decoration. You can also save it for next year, compost, or give to the birds when the season is over!
Eggnog Brulee Pie
This Eggnog Brulee Pie is an irresistible twist on a classic: combining rich, decadent eggnog into a custard-based pie that tastes like creme brulee! So easy and delightful! Prep Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 35 mins Total Time: 45 mins Servings: 8 -10
Ingredients
One 9" frozen deep dish pie crust at room temperature
4 Tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 cup granulated white sugar
4 Tablespoons butter melted
2¼ cups full-fat eggnog
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
For the Topping:
4 Tablespoons butter melted
1/3 cup granulated sugar + 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon mixed together
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place the frozen pie crust (in its pan) on top. The rimmed baking sheet will catch any drips.
Prick small holes with the tines of a fork on the bottom and sides of the pie crust; this will help from creating air bubbles. Likewise, you may also fill the pie crust with pie weights to weigh it down during baking.
Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven but keep the oven on.
While crust bakes, prepare your filling. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch and granulated sugar until no clumps remain and mixture is cohesive.
Whisk in the melted butter, eggnog, and nutmeg and turn the stove on medium. Cook and stir constantly until mixture thickens and becomes smooth and creamy, about 5-7 minutes. It should look like pudding.
Remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla extract.
Pour the filling into the prepared partially-baked pie crust and smooth out the top.
Pour the melted butter topping over the pie filling and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture liberally over the top.
Bake for 25 minutes, then turn on the broiler and broil for 1 minute or until topping is golden brown and bubbly (watch it carefully to prevent burning!). Cool the pie completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 1 hour to set.
