i had a cuisinart waffle iron but it broke. im gonna get my mom a cast iron waffle iron you can just put on the stove for solstice. we do christmas too, of course, but we do a little celebration for solstice as well. i remember a very violent duscussion over what holidays my brother and his fiancee would celebrate with us vs the inlaws but now they live on the other side of the country and spend the holidays with niether of us.
