Imbolc

Just wondering how people are planning to celebrate Imbolc......and looking for ideas to "borrow".

For the first time, my family is inviting a couple of friends to join us on the Saturday before Imbolc. We'll bake soda bread and short-bread cookies, make crosses and brats, and then have a nice dinner of poundies and omelettes. If anyone wants me to, I'll talk about the Irish traditions and their connections to Brighid.

Privately, I'll put my brats out and also observe the "holiday from turning" from sundown on January 31 to sundown on February 1 and try to do some reading and meditating.

What are you doing (if you celebrate Imbolc)?
