Snowfire!

[lizziebelle]

Well, OK, there wasn't any snow; not this year, at least. But I just got back from my town's Winter Solstice festival, Snowfire! While not as cold as the past two years, it was still quite chilly and I gave in to my frozen toes, abandoning the bonfire for some hot chocolate and the warmth of home. It was very cool to be celebrating one of my own holidays with a crowd of muggles (there were over 100 people there, I would estimate), who started howling as the bonfire was lit. Cool, and strange. Usually when I am around a fire of that size, there are drums and dancers in various states of dress (and undress). It was odd, but fun. :)
