Gearin' up, she says! Don' let the wench fool ye' mateys. Tis no steampunk celebration we'll be havin'! Followin' up on the great feast we'll be engagin' ourselves in an evenin' o' proper pure playful piratical plunderin'!
Just bring yerself an' a gift that's concealed some way, y'see. Figure a value o' 10 dubloons or thereabouts, and add it to me pile o' treasure!
I'll explain th' rest when we arrrrrrgh ready to begin!
Yaaarrrrgh Pirrrrate Captain!
See all ya landlubbers at Yule!

And as with all of Four Quarters Member-Driven events, we are in need of volunteers to help with Yule!
Let us know where your talents and callings can help the Tribe:
- bringing breakfast items
- coordinate the making of non-edible decorative craft items (for adults and kids)
- coordinate decorating the Loft and tree
- also VERY important: UNdecorating the Loft and tree!!
If you can and want to help, let me know!
Love and light,
Carrie

I hope everyone had a Cool Yule...both the weekend before, and on the actual day of solstice.
The Lunar Eclipse was awesome! Hope everyone had a chance to enjoy it.
As we head into Christmas season, I wish everyone blessings of Light and Love, Health and Happiness, Prosperity and Peace.
Much love to all,
Carrie
