"Candlemas' is the Christianized name for the holiday, of course. The older Pagan names were Imbolc and Oimelc. 'Imbolc' means, literally, 'in the belly' (of the Mother)...

Happy Hannukah, Happy Winter Solstice, Merry Christmas and Happy Kwanzaa! There are so many wonderful traditions that fall around the longest, coldest nights of winter.  Winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year for the Northern Hemisphere, with the least amount of sunlight and longest amount of darkness. It ocurrs around the 21st or 22nd of December. This year, is takes place on Monday, December 21.
Many cultures have created traditions around this time of year, usually involving bonfires, candles, yule logs in the fireplace, and other ways of bringing warmth and light to this longest night.
Different cultures marked the occasion with their own unique traditions, from celtic wreathes designed to represent male and female and the circle of the year, grand feasts in China, lamps kept lit all night in Romania to ward off evil spirits, to Mistletoe put over the door for good luck.
You can create your own solstice celebration with a decorated yule log to burn in the fireplace, strings of lights across your porch or house kept on all night long, or a fire on an outdoor firepit and potluck feast with family and friends.

Greetings!
Just Another Sunset has been in business for five years this month. We feel incredibly blessed to be in a business that provides fantasy art and other things that make us happy. It's been a dream come true for us, and we couldn't have done it without you!
As the holidays come upon us, our hearts and minds turn towards those oft forgotten Unicorns that people stop believing in when they grow up. Don't do it. Don't stop believing. Choose to not grow up, and instead believe in unicorns and fairies and elves as long as you live, weaving magic into the holidays and every moment of the year.
We hope that whether you are 16, 36, 56 or 96, you will leave treats out for the garden gnomes, clap for Tinkerbell, and watch for unicorns, fairy rings and other signs of enchanted life.
Thank you for being an important part of our fairy community. We are proud to be one of your favorite places for all things enchanted and fantastical!

| Celebrate With Just Another Sunset  Full Moon:November 21, 2010 Full Beaver Moon - November This was the time to set beaver traps before the swamps froze, to ensure a supply of warm winter furs. Another interpretation suggests that the name Full Beaver Moon comes from the fact that the beavers are now actively preparing for winter. It is sometimes also referred to as the Frosty Moon.
 Sun Sign: Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Element: Water Planet: Mars and Pluto Celtic Tree: Reed (October 28 - November 24)
November Birth Flower: Chrysanthemum November is National Novel Writing Month, Aviation Month, International Drum Month, National Adoption Awareness Month, American Diabetes Month, National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month, National Epilepsy Month, Peanut Butter Lover's Month, Vegan Month, Latin American Month, and Native American Heritage Month Halloween or Samhain: October 31  As with many modern holidays, Halloween has its origins in pagan traditions. "As in days long past, Celtic Pagans believe that the veil between the world of the living and that of the dead is at its thinnest on this night, and that the spirits of our departed loved ones walk the earth, visit family and friends, and join in the ritual celebrations. This makes Samhain a prime night for any type of spirit contact rituals.
The feeding of the dead is a widespread practice, even in modern Celtic lands. In Brittany and Ireland food is always left out for these spirit travelers, and candles are placed in windows to guide them along their way, and these were the origins of the modern Halloween customs of the jack o'lantern and trick-or-treat." Taken from "Celtic Myth and Magick" by Edain McCoy All Saints Day - November 1 A day set aside for honoring all Christian saints, usually with a religious observance and a feast. Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead - October 31 - November 2 This Mexican holiday covers two days, the first dedicated to young children who have passed on, and the second to adults. Alters are often set up with flowers, sugar skulls, favorite foods of the departed, and other tokens of remembrance. It is also tradition to visit the tombs of loved ones and decorate their tombstones. Daylight Standard Time Resumes: November 7 Set your clocks BACK one hour. This event takes place on the first Sunday in November of every year. Veteran's Day: November 11 This day honors every who has or is still serving in the Armed Forces. Great American Smokeout Day: November 18 Held every 3rd Thursday in November, this is the day to finally quit your smoking habit for good. |

| | Celebrate With Just Another Sunset  Full Moon:October 23, 2010 Full Harvest Moon - This is the full Moon that occurs closest to the autumn equinox. In two years out of three, the Harvest Moon comes in September, but in some years it occurs in October. At the peak of harvest, farmers can work late into the night by the light of this Moon. Usually the full Moon rises an average of 50 minutes later each night, but for the few nights around the Harvest Moon, the Moon seems to rise at nearly the same time each night: just 25 to 30 minutes later across the U.S., and only 10 to 20 minutes later for much of Canada and Europe. Corn, pumpkins, squash, beans, and wild rice the chief Indian staples are now ready for gathering.
