Description

"Wassail!" ["To your health!"]
The customary response is, "Drink hail!"* 

Mmm, warm mead, cinder, and spices!
The house smells and looks wonderful, all decorated for the season.
It's always fun, visiting with Father and Mother Yule, at their home, with their animals, and fairy friends.

This was inspired by Santa's home - contest, hosted by  Malleni-Stock
--------------------------------------
 Update: 
This was one of the first photomanips I did after joining DA.
It's fun to think of all the Stock Artists, Father Christmas and Bafana and everyone enjoying the festivities.
Take Care. Stay Warm. 
Winter Storms- The news is calling "Snowmagadden" around here. [That doesn't even make sense.]
-------------------------
And, Happy Festivus for The Rest of Us!
My Mum always tried to celebrate all the holidays.

Under an Unintended Sky _ unerwarteter Himmel

Under an Unintended Sky- unter einem unerwarteten Himmel (AURORA BOREALIS 19-20th January 2026/ in der Nacht vom 19. auf den 20. Januar 2026) I never thought I would see the northern lights over Germany. Not here. Not like this. Not above the rooftops I’ve known my whole life. That night, something shifted. Not just in the sky, but in me. The glow didn’t explode into color. It didn’t dance like I’d seen in documentaries or picture books. It arrived differently. Quietly. A faint shimmer, barely there. Cold and drifting, soft like a held breath. As if the heavens had remembered something – and in that memory, a rhythm returned. There was no announcement. No spectacle. It didn’t demand attention. And yet, it had mine completely. For a moment, everything felt thin. The fabric of time loosened. The sky felt too close, too vast, all at once.

Manuary - What the Forest Raised

The forest was their home. Paint on their faces, double blades in their hands, furs across their backs. They were children of the wilderness, skulking through darkness to catch their prey and bind themselves ever closer to their god. The Dark Hunter had chosen them to follow his path. And they knew that leaving behind everything that once mattered in their previous lives was only the beginning. —- Blood on the stone. Wind tangled through their wild hair as they bled their prey, later skinning it and collecting trophies. He never came to mark them as his in gratitude, but the tales made it clear that one night he would emerge from between the trees and take them with him—to hunt forever, to grant them eternal life. They would be eternal as he was. Eternal as the forest. — The hunt. They learned to eat through the still living tissue, their bloody footprints left in the pine needles and mossy earth. At night, when the cries of nocturnal birds pierced the air and leaves crunched
