The Winter Solstice will take place in the Northern Hemisphere on Monday, December 21st. In Indianapolis the Solstice will happen at 5:02 a.m. EST.
I know that only because I looked it up.
If we all work together, set our clocks for the time, we can be awake to hear winter creaking through our front doors, stirring a bit of frost in the air, and putting extra chill in our joints.
To me, it is a reminder that, after the Solstice has cast itself on the land, the days begin to lengthen, leaning towards the flowers of Spring, and the warmth of Summer suns.
Yay for the solstice! Saturnalia! A great excuse for a party.
