Winter Solstice.

Carruthers • Dec 21, 2014 12:53 pm
Dwellars in the Northern Hemisphere can rejoice in the fact that today is the shortest day.

The sun will make a little more effort from now on to rise more than just a few degrees above the horizon and I might, just might, feel that it is worth the effort of getting up in the morning.

Dwellars in the Southern Hemisphere, of course, are now in the descent towards their Autumn and Winter. Sorry about that Aliantha.

Right. If you'll excuse me now, I'm off to make a Pagan sacrifice of some sort.

Life does tend to become ever so complicated these days.

Plan B it is then...

Won't somebody think about the people who would be out of work without Christmas songs. People like this poor girl who can barely afford to clothe herself ...

How to get Christians to spend more money. Create a holiday that requires everyone to spend money in stores. After all, who own an overwhelming number of those stores? Jews.

Then write lots of Christmas songs to inspire that spendng attitude. Top Christmas songs are written by Jews including White Christmas. Let It Snow. Santa Baby. I’ll Be Home for Christmas. Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire. Silver Bells. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Holly Jolly Christmas, There's No Place Like Home For The Holidays, and It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

But then Christ was a Jew. Why not get everyone to celebrate a Jewish celebrity in song?

That's the spirit tw! Christmas songs increase spending, which frees up money, which creates additional jobs in stores, which is good for the economy. Feliz Navidad!

After watching "The Killing" in it's entirety, I was under the impression that Seattle's universe did not have a sun. And also that you are all child abusers/molesters.

1500 Pagans and Druids celebrated the Winter Solstice yesterday morning at Stonehenge.

The event was presided over by King Arthur Pendragon, a senior Druid.


On a side note, I know nothing about the technicalities of photography, so I'm prepared to be shot down in flames.
However, the composition of this photo is redolent of an Renaissance religious painting. It's remarkable, but I'm only a layman, so what do I know?

Looks like a painting to me.
