Marking the Winter Solstice

I love this mystical magical time of year.  Throughout history, people have long gathered to celebrate and honor the sun. Special rituals during the time of the solstice and equinox each year mark the movement of the sun.  Winter solstice and the short days encourage me to value the sunlight even more than usual.  I am delighting in the shadows and patterns the sun creates on my blinds.  Savour the short days, sleep a little more and enjoy!
