Happy Winter Solstice!
The Winter Solstice is the shortest day, and longest night, of the year. Coincidentally this is also when Wiccans and other Neo-Pagans celebrate Yule. (Cue AFA screeching about “evil” and “abominations” but where do you think they got their precious Christmas traditions from in the first place?)
So light a Yule log and some candles, hunker down for that extra-long night, and enjoy yourself. If you’re anything like me you’ll be celebrating the fact that the days only get longer from here on out.
