Winter Solstace
December 21st, 2008Today is the official first day of winter, and in astronomical terms, the shortest day of year (but certainly not the coldest, that takes another month or so).
Its also one of the Pagan celebration times called yule.
Four years from now, it will also coincide with the end of the Mayan calendar, although that calendar is cyclical, and will restart another long cycle the next day.
Some think it means the end of the world. We'll see.
