Decorating a Yule tree, put on some holiday music, light some incense or scented candles, get a pot of herbal tea brewing, and turn it into a ritual of its own. Have on hand some salt, incense, a candle and water.
Bless the tree as follows:
By the powers of earth, I bless this tree,
that it shall remain sacred, a symbol of life, stable and strong in our home throughout the Yule season.
By the powers of air, I bless this tree,
as the cool winter winds blow away the baggage of the old year,
and we welcome the brightness of the new into our hearts and home.
By the powers of fire, I bless this tree,
as the days have gotten shorter, and the nights grown dark,
yet the warmth of the sun is returning, bringing with it life.
By the powers of water, I bless this tree, a gift that it may stay bright and green,so we can enjoy the harmony and peace of Yule.
As you say the blessing, sprinkle the salt around the tree in a circle, smudge with incense, & water the tree. & decorate
