The Winter Solstice comes on December 21 at 5:02 a.m. EST. Marking the Northern Hemisphere’s shortest day and longest night of the year, it is also the start of Yule, a celebration of light and warmth rejoicing the return of longer days and more sunlight. May the coming days shine a warm, comforting light on us all.
Happy Winter Solstice and Blessed Yule to all.

In honor of the winter solstice:
“So the shortest day came, and the year died,
And everywhere down the centuries of the snow-white world
Came people singing, dancing,
To drive the dark away.”
