It’s December 19th, which means it’s almost time! You know the anticipation of the big event, right? The SOLSTICE! What? You thought I meant Christmas? The solstice is way more exciting.
This year, at 10:58 am Eastern Time on December 21, the earth will roll on her belly and start a new cycle of lengthening days… until June 21, 2022, that is. Each day we’ll have a little more sunlight, a little more warmth… right up until it gets hot enough for us to complain about the heat.
I wish everyone a happy winter season for all the holidays you celebrate!
