What do you celebrate at this time of year?

I'm a big fan of the return of the light, so the winter solstice means more to me than Christmas does. I usually put up lights and maybe a small tree and burn lots of candles. This year I was going to put luminarios outside on the Solstice, but it poured rain all that night (stupid global warming). Christmas Eve is supposed to be clear, though, so I'll put them out then. I'm considering really going to town on the project, so I'll have to buy a bunch more candles tomorrow!
