With a wave of my hand, the Yule log was lit. I held my hands out to Florian and Daphne, for them to take mine. Each family member copied the movement and grabbed each other. "While we know that tonight is the darkest and longest night of the year, it also means that each night afterwards will be shorter. A symbol of light and life returning to the world. As winter’s grasp slowly loosens, life shall spring forth."
