What better time to revive state of the [car]nation than around the winter solstice, when the days begin to wax again. I shall be waxing poetic again myself, now that I'm on Christmas break, on this and that, but for now, let me please advertise Anya McCoy's lovely winter solstice project which includes lovely prizes every day and reflections on solstice rituals across the world:
A New
Tradition: Anya's Annual Winter Solstice Giveaway Event
Anya is starting a new annual
tradition on her blog. She has long been fascinated with this time
of year, when, as a child, she noticed the cold, dark days of
wintertime Philadelphia were made tolerable by the festive lights
of Hanukkah and Christmas. In her neighborhood, Christmas lights
were kept lit in windows until New Years Eve, brightening the dark
streets and making the cold more tolerable.
This year, Anya is inaugurating a
Winter Solstice Event on her new blog, hosted on her own website.
The former blog site didn't allow her to see the email addresses
of people who left comments, and some giveaway prizes went
unclaimed when the winners couldn't be notified. Now, everyone
will be notified immediately after their name is randomly chosen.
The celebration of lights will
begin on the shortest day of the year, Dec. 21st, and continue
through the lengthening days with a giveaway every day. Anya will
also write about personal, perfumery, mystical and practical
events that have shaped her in her art and life. It will be a
lovely journey that she hopes to share with you, and with the
giveaway gifts, pay it forward to the community of customers and
natural perfume lovers who have helped build her businesses.
