Winter Solstice & Yuletide
There are many ways in which Winter Solstice can be defined; one of the most common is by the
astronomical phenomenon for which it is named, a "sun-standing" which is readily observable by
anyone on Earth. The standing sun occurs for about three days between Dec. 20 and 24. Based on
the shortest day of the year, the solstice dates and times change as the Earth's orbit can vary from
year-to-year.

The tradition of Yuletide includes "The 12 days of Christmas", between Dec. 13 and 24, and the
birth of the new sun/"son" on Dec. 25. Winter Solstice traditions include kissing under the mistletoe
and drinking Wassail!

The Wassail tradition
Wassail is an old world ceremonial spiced cider blended with mead and olde ale (Kuhnhenn makes
both!): Wassail is served hot, and is used during the Yuletide season to bless orchards and increase
their yields (it’s also quite tasty). The word Wassail is Saxon for "Good Health" and a traditional
toast is to hold high a cup of Wassail while exclaiming "All Hail Waes Heal!" or "All Hail Wassail!"

Making and serving Wassail has been one of the oldest winter holiday traditions. Kuhnhenn brings
back some of these old traditions with Wassail toasts at their Winter Solstice Party each year.
Cheers and All Hail Wassail!
The Kuhnhenn Brothers, Eric & Bret
