Yondƫw is a made-up holiday for a real feeling

the quiet stretch between Thanksgiving and Christmas, when gentleness feels especially necessary. Itā€™s a pause to honor animals, practice care, and offer comfort without ceremony or expectation.

Symbol:

The Baby Donkey, a humble and enduring animal, represents strength in vulnerability, quiet perseverance, and the bond between humans and animals. Its simplicity is a reminder of how small, compassionate acts can create profound change.

    • Acts of Compassion:
      People spend the day engaging in activities that benefit animalsā€”visiting shelters, donating supplies, feeding wildlife, or simply taking time to care for their own pets.

    • Yellow Ribbon Bundles:
      Small gifts tied with yellow ribbons are exchanged, symbolizing the simplicity and joy of thoughtful giving. Often, these gifts are donations or items benefiting animal welfare.

    • Forage Feast:
      A plant-based meal is shared, inspired by the natural diets of animals, to honor harmony with the earth and its creatures.

    • Quiet Moments of Gratitude:
      Families and friends take time to reflect on the animals in their lives, whether they are pets, wildlife, or the animals who contribute to the ecosystem.

    • Lantern Walks:
      Communities take peaceful lantern-lit walks in nature, acknowledging the beauty of the natural world and our shared responsibility to protect it.

  • The drink is infused with flavors symbolizing renewal and gratitude.

    • 1 Ā½ cups hot water

    • 1 oz whiskey (or use apple cider for a non-alcoholic version)

    • 1 tbsp honey (representing sweetness in life's challenges)

    • 1 slice of fresh ginger (symbolizing warmth and resilience)

    • Juice of half a lemon (for clarity and renewal)

    • 1 cinnamon stick (representing strength and unity)

    • 2-3 cloves (for a touch of aromatic spice, symbolizing life's little joys)

    • A small star anise (optional, as a nod to Brindle's star pack)

    Instructions

    1. Prepare the Base:
      In a small saucepan or kettle, heat the water until steaming but not boiling.

    2. Mix the Ingredients:
      In a mug, combine the whiskey (or apple cider), honey, lemon juice, and ginger. Stir gently until the honey dissolves completely.

    3. Infuse with Flavor:
      Add the cinnamon stick, cloves, and star anise to the mug. Let the drink steep for 3-5 minutes to allow the spices to release their flavors.

    4. Serve with Intent:
      Remove the cloves, star anise, and ginger slice (or leave them in for a stronger flavor). Garnish with a thin lemon slice or a sprig of fresh thyme for added elegance.

Yondƫw FAQ

  • In the quiet stretch of time between Thanksgiving and Christmas, people once felt a lullā€”a longing for connection and meaning that wasnā€™t tied to feasts or gifts. YondĆ«w emerged as a celebration of compassion and respect, born from the simple truth that kindness toward animals reflects the best of humanity.

    Long ago, communities depended on animals for survival and companionship. YondĆ«w was created to honor these relationships and to remind people of the responsibility we share in caring for the creatures of our world. The name "YondĆ«w" was chosen to evoke a sense of fresh beginnings, like dew on a winter morningā€”gentle, quiet, and full of promise.

    The holiday grew into a universal celebration of compassion, not tied to any faith or specific tradition, but as a way to pause, reflect, and express gratitude for the animals who enrich our lives.

Warm Wishes - Krampus Party

3 Card Set

Warm Wishes - Krampus Party

This three-card set draws from public-domain imagery of Krampus, understood not as a figure of fear, but as part of a long communal tradition that embraces contrast, release, and shared humanity.

Across many regions, Krampus appears as many figures rather than one. Costumes, handmade masks, bells, fur, and laughter form a collective procession where darkness is acknowledged and carried alongside light.

These cards honor that spirit. Each image reflects a different moment in the parade, holding mischief and care, shadow and warmth, strangeness and tenderness together.

This set is for winter wishes that allow for complexity. A way to acknowledge difficult seasons while still offering connection, comfort, and goodwill.

Set includes:
3 folded cards- 5x7
Blank inside for your own words
Digitally altered from public-domain source imagery
