Subject: Celebrate Winter!

Winter Solstice:

In the Northern Hemisphere, winter begins on December 22.

On this day the length of daylight is at its minimum. For most people in the Northern Hemisphere, the Winter Solstice is simply the shortest day of the year - and therefore the longest night. But it is also a time to remember that beginning the very next day the nights will begin getting shorter and the days longer and spring and summer will come once again with flowers, warmth, and the singing of birds.

A common thread to Solstice celebrations is the reaffirmation of life and its cycle: the sun will return and life will bring riches of a new season.

(Of course, there are those of us who love the winter and are celebrating it of its own merit.)
