A roaring fire, a table full of food, lots of music, some hot drink, dancing, with lots of people and lots of dancing, laughing, and joking. Yule tends to be heavily about food.

Yuk!
It's more than 30°C here!

Well the fire is optional, of course

In Australia, some choose to celebrate Midsummer rather than Yule on the December Solstice. I'm not sure what the percentages are one way or another, though. I think I'd choose to do it that way, since the Wheel of the Year was designed to follow the seasons and the plantings and harvests.

Is there still a Solstice here?

How about, as a BBQ?

There are two each year. In the Southern Hemisphere, the Summer Solstice is on Dec. 22 this year. It's the day of the year when the Sun is in the sky for the longest time. Longest day/shortest night. On around June 21 or 22 you'll have Winter Solstice. The day of the year with the least hours of sunshine and most hours of dark.

I wish it were Litha. I hate this time of year because I always get depressed by the weather.
