Hey everyone, it’s the winter solstice. If ya don’t know now what that means I will tell you (in a non-angry toward religion way) The winter solstice is the shortest day of the year (longest night). It usually occurs on either the 21 of dec or 22. This year it was the 21st. When winter comes our days get shorter our nights get longer and it get colder. On the winter solstice the sun is at its lowest point in the sky (perceptibly) It goes down to it’s lowest point then stays there for 3 days (where we get the Easter story) then rises a degree in the sky on either the 24th or 25th. The sun rising is a sign of the new warmth of a new year.This is why we celebrate it. What’s interesting is that jesus’ birth and his death are both symbols of the same holiday. Well that’s enough history for today. Everyone enjoy whatever holiday your celebrating and be good one another. I leave you with a video of my favorite christmas song. BYE!
