DEEP WINTER(YULE)

Deep Winter is held on second full moon after Samhain (usually the full moon in December). It is a festival held mainly as a brief respite from the monotony of winter and can last for several days. Mistletoe is a common symbol of Deep Winter as this is the time of year it can best be harvested. The foods for the feast are again as many varieties and as much as can be spared. Another name for Deep Winter is the Feast of Longing. A common color associated with Deep Winter is white (for snow).
