I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Welcome to the latest sabbat informational post! Throughout the year, we will be posting up these threads to share general information about the next upcoming sabbat so WvP's witches, new and old, can prepare for the holiday. These posts will contain basic information about the holiday and open up for the floor for further questions or discussion.
๐ฒ๐ฏ๏ธ๐ฒ Yule & the Winter Solstice ๐ฒ๐ฏ๏ธ๐ฒ
What's Yule? What's the Winter Solstice? When are they and how are they different?
Yule (YOU-uhl) is one of the eight sabbats of the modern pagan Wheel of the Year. It is one of the "lesser sabbats", meaning that it is based around either an equinox or a solstice. The others are Ostara (Spring Equinox), Midsummer/Litha (Summer Solstice), and Mabon (Autumn Equinox). There's a section that goes into the history and connections of Yule in more detail below if you're interested.
The Winter Solstice, also sometimes called Midwinter, is an astronomical event that happens once a year and marks the event when one the earth's poles has its maximum tilt away from the Sun. It occurs on either 21 or 22 December each year in the northern hemisphere. In many Western cultures, this starts the beginning of Winter. This year, the winter solstice falls on 21 December.
For our Southern Hemisphere witches, the upcoming solstice is the Summer Solstice, which corresponds to the celebration of Midsummer/Litha. For more information, check out our earlier Midsummer (Litha) & the Summer Solstice post!
Yule: History, Connections, and Modern Practice
Yule was originally a midwinter festival celebration by early Germanic people. The name Yule is very old, originally spelled Jรณl or Jul. Our earliest references to this name refer to a period of time about two months long lasting roughly from mid-November through early-January. These old Yule celebrations centred around midwinter and were filled with feasting, sacrifices, and oath-taking. We also see references to Yule in some of the names or kennings of Odin, such as Jรณlnir and possibly Jรถlfuรฐr.
As Christianity moved north and west into and across Europe, many local Yule customs were absorbed and repurposed into "Christmastide" celebrations. Indeed, many of these traditions still live on in modern times, both in purpose and in naming, such as Yule Logs and Yule Goats.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies ๐

Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.
