So what are your plans this February? Are you looking forward to celebrating the holiday? Do you plan to have a solitary celebration, or are you looking to include others - and how do you propose to do so?
Beannachtaí na Féile Bríde oraibh!

Imbolc is always a complicated holiday for me. I am thinking about making a cross from newspapers because that can be moved with us from truck to truck and place to place. It feels kind of disrespectful and almost pointless to make a bed or a brat Bride out of newspaper because I don't have a home to bless and we're changing companies really shortly. Being basically itinerant isn't really conducive to being GaelPol lol

Imbolc always sneaks up on me! Auuugh.
I know that I'm gonna put up a new cros Bríde, at least. My old one is made out of red and black pipe cleaners which ended up looking a lil' silly... I wanted to try to get something like reeds or rushes this year but I think using brown pipe cleaners will do the trick.
I also like to make boxty on Imbolc (which I've been craving all winter) and I miiight try to bake something else? All I got is blueberry muffin mix, which isn't the most Imbolc thing in the world. Maybe I can grab some cranberry mix this weekend...
Finally, seeing as Imbolc doesn't fall on a weekend this year, I might try to incorporate a bath ritual as well. My mother recently bought me some lavender scented epsom salt and I'm itching to use it!

Peridot -- my first cros Bride is from local newspapers! I love it so  Huri -- Imbolc is sneaking up on me too! Eep! As for me, I think I'm gonna have a small feast -- maybe of pizza, maybe I'll actually cook. I plan to leave out my one blanket to get blessed and going to replace my cros Bride (though I'm not sure with what -- I've been switching up my methods for making them.) |

Ahhh Allec, you reminded me about the brat Bríde! I really need one this year, what with all the orthodontic surgery and devices in my future...  I have procured the cranberry muffin mix and some nice cherry blossom incense. Planning on baking/cooking the night of and then doing my bath ritual on the 1st. Weather forecast says it'll be warm and sunny that day... *groan* |
