Happy Solstice! In the Northern Hemisphere, winter is officially beginning, but the days will also be getting longer. :)  In the Southern Hemisphere, summer officially begins today (Wednesday, December 21). Cheers!

I lit a candle and cooked a fish in celebration of the Winter Solstice.  So far the candle has been a great success.

This should be celebrated as the begining of the REAL New Year, not all that Christo-Judeo-Roman rubbish!

Yeah they obviously got it wrong, and we base our calendar on it still, and it would still be wrong if we didn't have a leap year.

Yay for the Winter Solstice! Except that means that the days will start getting longer and that Spring is on the horizon. Yuck. How depressing.

Not like it being winter is going to make the weather all nice and chilly anyway. We have a chance of severe thunderstorms with hail and tornadoes on Christmas. Is nothing sacred anymore?

I'm scared that the cold blast we had a week ago will be the biggest one this year. We hardly got any snow at all with it. T.T I'm so sad. I know by the time that Christmas season is over, it feels like Spring is knocking on the door and the chances of cold weather and snowstorms goes right up in smoke.

Happy Soltice and Merry Christmas!

That.

The Asmo spent some time doing the fake god's work, by the way. Helping the Salvation Army help the worse-off families in His area have a better Planet Facing The Right Way At That Spot In The Orbit Day.

...Needless to say, He had to wash off all that goodness and righteousness with bleach afterwards. His Divine Eyebrows are all white now.  >:(

On the whole the worst winter weather seems to come in January these days.
