Winter Solstice is Here...
This site has a nice description of winter solstice.
"Religious folk worldwide observe many seasonal days of celebration during the month of
December. Most are religious holy days, and are linked in some way to the winter solstice.
On that day, the daytime hours are at a minimum in the Northern hemisphere, and night
time is at a maximum."
It goes on to compare many different religions and the way they have worked in the winter solstice into their traditions.
