Solstice Celebration

Tomorrow starts the winter solstice

My husband sent this photo to me today with the attached reminder

Here “solstice” is really 3-5 days when the daylight is no longer or shorter than the day before. This year it’s a five-day thing for some reason, so it starts December 19 and goes to December 23. That kind of looks like a house down the street from us, on the river and I’m guessing he was coming back from somewhere and thought he’d make my day.

It’s fitting that December 24 – our Christmas — will be slightly longer than any day in the last six. YAY! Winter is losing its grip.

Now comes the truly cold months, but at least the light will be slowly coming back.

Merry Christmas!
