And a MeCha Solstice to you, sir. For most of us, winter begins today. A good season full of whatever-warmth-you-can-find to everyone!

Holy cow, that snuck right up on me. So now the days start getting longer.

Thanks! Happy Solstice to you too. It was a balmy -3 when we got up this morning to walk the doggies.

Snuck up on me too. Usually I end up grousing about how it's dark when I'm walking home but this year I didn't really notice it.

happy solstice--light a candle against all the darkness, real and imposed.

And my 2002 mefi post on this day: Lelo ledung, pu'va pu'va, eh-e... In honor of the shortest day of the year: Lullabies from around the world. Midis and mp3s, from Bangladesh to Turkey, to send you off to dreamland, wherever it may be.

Cool and thanks for the link, amberglow. My daughter and I just did a candle-lighting, sage-smudging, wish-making ritual, and this is a perfect cap. Happy Solstice!

Happy Solstice! And yes, what jrossi said. I'm sooo glad the dark days of winter are on their way out.
