Happy Winter Solstice!
 

Today's the day. I figure if I'm going to get all secular with my winter celebration, this is the one. So dear friends... I hope that this year has been all you hoped it would be, and that next year brings you joy and prosperity!

Happy Solstice!

(officially occurring at 17:47 UTC)

And a perfectly dark cloudy morning for it! :)

Happy Winter!

Happy Yule!

Now I just need Yul Ulu to come redecorate my place!

Winter is icumen in,
Lhude sing Goddamm,
Raineth drop and staineth slop,
And how the wind doth ramm!
Sing: Goddamm.
Skiddeth bus and sloppeth us,
An ague hath my ham.
Freezeth river, turneth liver,
Damm you; Sing: Goddamm.
Goddamm, Goddamm, 'tis why I am, Goddamm,
So 'gainst the winter's balm.
Sing goddamm, damm, sing goddamm,
Sing goddamm, sing goddamm, DAMM.

-Ezra Pound

LOL! You read my mind.

To celebrate the longest night of the year, I didn't sleep last night.:rolleyes:

Happy Solstice!

So for you pagens out there, are the holidays reversed for our antipodal southern hemisphere friends? Do the Lashes have to wait 6 months for Yule?

Huh, neither did I. Strange.

Yes, today is the Summer Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere.
