A reminder I have a couple of (if I say it myself) rather wonderful #Advent and #Christmas books in my back catalogue… available to buy wherever you can buy books (though at the risk of sounding ‘All Royston Vasey’, buy local if you can…) #Advent #Christmas #Books

Happy Normal Time November everyone. It's too late for Halloween and too early to do anything for the midwinter holidays. So let's all be normal for the next few days

The Dogwood in the garden is back in flower and feeding lots of insects. #Diptera

In midwinter same plus below zero temps.

Daylight savings time doesn't change or improve that.

Love this. Samhain to Yule. Samhain marks the onset of winter in the natural year, with midwinter occurring at Yule.

I can't remember if it's in Moominvalley in November or in Moomin Midwinter where there's the description of the Moomins all getting ready to hibernate, stuffing the place with straw and blankets and getting cosy, but whichever it is, I want it. I want to be them

No one likes midwinter elections. No one.

Door-knocking can be nice enough when the sun sets at 8pm. When it sets at 3.30pm? Awful.

Christmas in July (midwinter Christmas) is a thing in these latitudes

you are letting the fire die down after a hard day's work fashioning fine crafted goods to sell at the midwinter market and are just about to securely fasten the shutters and outer doors when this mfer raps upon your door bringing dark tidings of foreboding encroaching the safety of your hearth wdyd

Will this be one of Minnesota's Top 3 warmest winters on record?

Paul Douglas looks at how a historic "Super-Duper" El Niño is hijacking the jet stream with possible 50s in December, midwinter thaws, and delayed snow until late January.

Highly recommend A Midwinter Break on Netflix. Just perfect, really.

I only recently learned what a Ceilidh is and everything about it feels very Punjabi coded the me. Like, I'm pretty sure we do very similar things during Lodhi (A Harvest Festival we celebrate at Midwinter).

I think it’s not crime but traffic, at least here

But we’re also far enough north that school starts in the dark midwinter regardless

Ok, Halloween is done. You can start doing the various midwinter festivities now, but no going overboard yet. I don't want to hear Mariah Carey or Slade until December at the earliest.

Holly's more a midwinter thing in the older sources, really. Samhain's medieval Irish texts lean on fire, feasting and the otherworld opening up. The holly link mostly comes from Christmas customs and modern Holly King lore.

That's why some of us do Day of the Dead as well.
It wards off Christian midwinter-fest for another few days.

I'm in the middle of applying some funding to do an event, and "at the end of the academy" was already the end of the subtitle. Ugh. The bleak midwinter gets bleaker even though we are still in autumn.
