Winter Solstice at Stonehenge In my mind, the solstice is why we say "happy holidays" instead of Merry Christmas. It's why we celebrate the New Year, Christmas, Hanukkah and any other number of holidays this time of year. It's the real reason for the season.Please let's not get into a religious discussion here.

Usually not for long stretches, but in those blissful moments when our children get...
Merry first day of winter!The crisp air and pale sky struck with crystal sun… the sense of cleanliness and clarity after a snowfall. The long cold days of winter are hard on me, but I must admit I do love the season.Most of us forget that the reason we celebrate the “holidays” when we do is because they all (all the holidays we celebrate at this time of year) represent the “coming of the light.” We are entering into a period of cold and hibernation, but we are also moving into the brighter half of the year… and that starts today, on the longest day.
