In Ireland, this holiday was celebrated by the Celtic druids as Grianstad An Gheimhridh, celebrated in a manner similar to the Nordic Yule, placing four candles of various colors atop a log and letting them burn down over the night. While the story of the Holly King and Oak King are certainly an interesting play on the dual nature of the Horned God, there is no official evidence they existed in Celtic folklore prior to their introduction into the Wiccan religion in 1970, so I feel no need to include it in my druidic practice, though I understand why others do.
As I explore my own cultural connection to the Celtic druidic tradition, I find that it is but a small thing to reintroduce the celebration of season. We have lost our wildness, and as all animals follow and accept the changing of autumn into winter, winter into spring, spring into summer, and summer into autumn again, so must we as human animals do likewise.
It is coming close to darkness now. Gather with your friends as you can. Light fires, small or large. Eat warm food. Drink as you feel led. And most of all - rest.
