Its Merry Winter now.
Discuss what you know about solstice traditions. Have you ever attended a summer or winter celebration?

I don't particularly remember any summer or winter celebrations. Just USA holidays near certain times of the year. Such as Labor Day and Memorial Day. There is a cross on a hill near one of the towns close to us. We used to gather at the church and march through the streets of the town, up the hill to pray at the cross at sunup on good Friday.

I was interested to note, that I did not even ever hear the word solstice until I had my own home and was raising children. After the computer age came in, I did a class in weather, attended one class in the study of stars, and had a chart on the wall about the solstice and movements of the moon.

Have to go. Happy Holidays to everyone.*CandycaneP*
