Am heutigen Tag der Wintersonnenwende wünsche ich allen eine schöne Jul-Zeit und gesegnete Rauhnächte.
On the day of the winter solstice I wish you all a great Yuletide and blessed Rauhnächte (rough nights).
Beneath the tree of light and life,
a blessing at this season of Jul!
To all that sit at my hearth,
today we are brothers, we are family,
and I drink to your health!
Today we do not fight,
We bear no one ill will.
Today is a day to offer hospitality
to all that cross my threshold
in the name of the season.
