For Midwinter, you'll want to curl up with a good book (The Oak King, for instance) and a bowl of hot soup. Leave a recipe or a link to a recipe in the comments! Currently, mine is the Pioneer Woman's 7-Can Soup.

The Oak King can feel the turning of the season rising in the earth, but the Holly King refuses to relinquish his power. When the battle is over, will spring come, or will it remain winter forever?

We have exactly one month until the Solstice. Besides giving everyone time to order The Oak King before the Yule holiday, it's also a time to embrace the rest and repose the Holly King offers before the Light returns.
