Tilt-O-World

And it is today that we NoHems, on our tilted earth, are farthest from the sun as we travel around it every 365.25 days. The shortest day, so to speak, and reason for celebration. Daylight minutes become more plentiful from here until June 21st.

Small succor on a cold dark day, really, but we humans live by milestones. So let's live.

One comment on "Christmas" and solstice, which should just be a reminder... christians appropriated the solstice celebration of the pagans because it was an event already observed by the masses. Why try to create a new one in March or April, when the alleged king of kings was actually born? Just re-brand the current celebration and feed them mead.

So happy holiday of whatever stripe you celebrate.
