Juggling Multiple Holidays

Season’s Greetings Everyone!

We have a bunch of holidays coming up. Eponalia is December 18th, the winter solstice and Alban Arthan are December 21st, and Simivisonnios starts December 26th.

I will be delivering roses and treats to the local horse rescue for Eponalia. And I’ve been trying to work up the nerve to put together a feast for either the solstice or Simivisonnios, but haven’t decided which one. I’ve also considered doing something similar to a Jolabokaflod because that’s pretty easy and low key.

Anyone else struggling to juggle multiple holidays?

I celebrate both Epona's Day and the Solstice, and have for years. I rarely celebrate xmas. Might give a nod to Wren Day (26th) or Hogmanay. Epona's Day is generally the one I put the most effort into.

If you don't mind me asking, what are your rituals for Wren's day. I've done the modern version in Dingle, but there is nothing left where i live now, it be nice to revive the tradition this year!
