Happy Winter Solstice!
Today is Winter solstice, which marks the longest night of the year. Winter solstice always falls between December 21 and 23 every year, and we can now look forward to our days becoming longer each day. The actual solstice event only lasts for a moment - it's the moment when the sun is the greatest distance away from the equatorial plane and shines directly over the northern hemisphere, but many cultures celebrate the entire day as the beginning of winter. So here I am, wishing you a happy winter solstice, a happy, safe winter, and while I'm at it, I hope you've all been having a happy, healthy, cheery holiday season and may it continue through to the new year and beyond!
