Funny Tom I was thinking about that, and how it's passed us all by with out
a mention. Do Pagans (I hate this next word) celebrate this event ?



I did hear that there were traffic problems in the vicinity of Stonehenge on
21st as the Druids were cavorting naked around the stones, or whatever it is
they do.

I am an atheist and I am quite happy to celebrate the Yuletide festival and
welcome the lengthening days. It was, after all, originally a Pagan and/or
secular festival before it was hijacked by the Judeo-Christian religions.

Been a bit busy lately to do anything other than look in from
time-to-time. However, I'd like to specifically note, albeit late, the
passing on the 21st (12.41 UT?) of the Winter Solstice. *That's* the day,
every year, when I start to feel better about life.

Welcome back, sun - and the prospect of warmer days, lighter nights,
outdoor life .......................
