A happy and blessed Winter Solstice to all my Pagan friends.
For those who are wondering, Winter Solstice (December 21) is the shortest day of the year and the ancient Pagan day of celebration to which Christmas conveniently attaches its sleigh.
What? Christmas is older than Jesus?
Yes, it's true.
In fact, it's older than Judaism as well.
Surely, you did not think the world began with Moses or Jesus? Dinosaurs once roamed your back yard. I promise you this is true.
Winter Solstice is the the darkest day of the year, and Winter Solstice is celebrated as the beginning of the return, or rebirth, of the Sun.
In short, today is the beginning of the REAL New Year, and it pretty much always has been celebrated as such.
