According to Universal Time (UT) measured at Greenwich, England, the winter solstice occurs at 5:30 a.m. on December 22. So why am I posting my winter solstice greetings today? Because my time zone of Mountain Standard Time (MST) is 7 hours earlier than UT, so in Alberta the winter solstice arrives at 10:30 p.m. tonight. Depending on your time zone, the winter solstice may occur today or tomorrow.
Either way, winter solstice blessings to you and your family! May the returning light herald a wonderful holiday season for you all! *SMOOCH!*
Happy winter solstice blessings to you, too! I'm thrilled that the days will start getting longer. YAY!
ReplyDeleteHave a *Cool Yule* and many blessings to you and yours.

"Axial tilt..." OH. MY. GODS. That's a new one to me and I choked appropriately on my beverage of choice when I read it :D
ReplyDeleteI always celebrate the Solstices on the 21st and the Equinoxes on the 22nd - accuracy be damned! *rebel yell*
Hail to the returning light!
^ "Unknown" - um, yeah. Try "Irmata", silly blogspot.
ReplyDeleteHappy solstice! (And I'm super accurate about the whole thing because of being an astrologer. So I do so appreciate your accuracy. Though as a person, I'm cool with people celebrating whatever they want, whenever they want. Yay!)

ReplyDeletehow do creationists, where everything is perfect, account for axial tilt, an obvious flaw?
