Given how seminal to life on our planet the winter solstice is, I'm surprised the moment and subsequent three days is not more celebrated. https://www.britannica.com/science/winter-solstice https://www.britannica.com/science/winter-solstice In dark northern places like Scotland (Hogmanay) Scandinavia (Santa Lucia) this turning point is a profound and important part of life. Christmas etc was overlaid on this ancient awareness. The Roman calendar 'new years eve' has always felt fake and depressing to me (Let's celebrate the start of a new tax year!) but I always feel something emotional at the solstice moment when the planet stops its tilt and a literal new cycle begins.
