The shortest day and the longest night have been drowned in rain that doesn't even have the decency to be December-cold, but the sun comes back whether you see it or not: that's axial tilt for you. I have spent the evening with my parents, putting lights on a tree. Happy solstice.

That's the first ornament I was ever given; it came from my grandparents. Neither of my parents is Christian, but they made the decision to raise me and my brother with secular American Christmas, so the Star of David goes first on the tree every year.
(Happy Solstice! ...even *with* the warm rain.)
Thank you!
