Winter Solstice has arrived!
That means the longest night of darkness in the year.
But there's good news too.
From here on, each day will be light a little bit longer.
Well, at least for the next six months.
Of course if you live south of the Equator the situation is exactly reversed so brace yourselves.
Did you recognize what yesterday was?
12-20-2022.
Try saying that out loud.
Meanwhile, on the Christmas watch . . .
"Hey, it was dark! Very dark! I just stumbled into it!"
That date is difficult to say indeed! I like the picking up of a few minutes of light each day. The cycle of life and all that.
ReplyDeleteThat is a guilty face.
ReplyDeleteI had cats that liked to hang out on the tree skirt under the branches. I'm sure they thought they were in the wild.
ReplyDeleteOur cats used to do the same thing.
DeleteLooks like trying to reprogram you with that intensity
ReplyDeleteHappy Winter Solstice and cheers to the return of the sun.
ReplyDeleteI've heard it said that the reason most cultures have a holiday around this time is they were afraid the sun was disappearing, when the days started getting longer instead of shorter they celebrated.
ReplyDeleteThank god you are back....the tree just fainted!!
ReplyDeleteOh no! Smashed ornaments. I hope she didn't get any bits in her paws.
ReplyDeleteHow could one be mad at that face?
ReplyDeleteWhen my kids were little, we tied the tree to the ceiling with fishing line so it couldn't be pulled down!
ReplyDeleteI can see how that cat would do so much damage -- it's HUGE! :)
