The Fifth Day of Yuletide - December 24

THE FIFTH DAY OF YULETIDE - December 24

The fifth day of Yuletide, we light a candle and remember Hospitality.

Being Hospitable has all the benefits of being Generous. It has, however, an added dimension of vulnerability - you are vulnerable, for you have let someone into your home, and your guest is likewise made vulnerable to you. The implication: trust. Giving and receiving hospitality builds even better bonds than Generosity, and is something to be sought after and treasured.

Let us be Hospitable!

This day, I will pour a libation to the land wights, the beings inherent in the land on which my home sits, for our mutual Hospitality.

I will be Hospitable this day.
