Tomorrow for the Winter Solstice Games I have lots of wood, potatoes, marshmallows and chestnuts. What else do I need or need to do? Poetry? Spells? Chanting? Nudity?

Effigies of your enemies to toss into the fire? Arrange some stones into a henge?

Arrange some enemies into a henge!

Always here to support nudity and chanting. May the long night bring you peace and excitement for days to come (I don't know if that's an actual thing, it just feels cool to say)

I think you've got most of it right. Grog is helpful as chestnuts can be a bit dry and floury. Not that this is a problem, just a glass or three of the old nasty helps the medicine go down.
Skyclad is strickly for summer imo. Also if doing skyclad, then watch out for impertinent echidnas. They're a bit of a menace. I think they're in league with the fundamentalist christians.
Lots of singing helps the sun return too. So bring out your favorite playlist and have at it!!
