June 21st...

[Eudaimonia]

So what do you do for the solstice? I've yet to celbrate one... we're all young and in college, summer jobs, etc, so it's a bit hard to do things together. Futhermore, I rarely notice what day it is, so I always forget to reasearch these things until the night before. (sigh). If you could lend suggestions or reading material (books or sites) I would be extremly greatful.

(While I'm here, I'm hawking my poem... go read it and tell me what you think!)

Thanks everyone.

As far as books, there is always "Midsummer: Magical Celebrations of the Summer Solstice" by Anna Franklin

I usually sing.....
something like..."HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! Happy birthday to me!
Happy birthday poor little ol me, Happy birthday to me...sniff."

heheheheh

Besides wishing FLAR a happy birthday, I'm not sure what I'll be doing....yet.

Thanks for the links, Mithrea

I'll be saying happy birthday to Flar and happy birthday to myself. And I'll also be celebrating a combined New Year's and Litha that day (along with getting ready for my trip). Busy days ahead. :D

[shnen]

well its a double birthday day for me, Flar and another friend IRL.
Not sure what I'm doing tho....

We're having a b-b-q/bonfire. This year alot of my family is joing us as well so we're making it "user friendly"

*chuckles* I wish I'd realized I was pagan when I was young and in college....you think it's hard to find time to celebrate now? Try when you're working full time and can't really explain to the boss that you need the day off for a religious observance. :D

*ponders* I might call in sick that day though. And I'm definately doing something with my love since he's going to be here! :boing:

[Earthcup]

I'll sing a "Very very happy Unbirthday to me!!!!!"

Marshmallows, a campfire and a lake with a dock in the deep end.... *sigh*

My penance will probably be a sunburn.... :lol:
