Yule log? Chanting? Stillness. Bells.

I'm curious about the black-eyed peas; that sounds like Southern New Year's Day to me. I'm not sure where the pork fits in, either. I freely admit this is probably just my ignorance!

Not objecting, by the way -- if you can work them in with the rest in a way that pleases you, go for it!

mmmm ... I can smell the snow in the air looking at this list.

I entirely lack a connection of snow and Yule in my brain. Snow comes mostly after New Year. Twice in my life, here in DC, it snowed on Xmas, both times melting by noon. Though i totally see why one would have that reaction looking at the list. :)
