...hetero is good too... ;o)
So, tonight is the solstice, which means that tonight is the longest night of the year. Tomorrow morning the sun will be "re-born" in strength and begin to grow towards summer.
In days of auld the Yule log would be lit with a bit of saved ember from last years fire. In our days of electricity it is difficult to imagine just how important that first "waxing" sunrise was, especially in cold climates.
Even in these days of modern miracles-- the "end of the world as the Mayans knew it", the New Age of Electronic Fire-- it is important to celebrate the Lights of the Season: The light of the sun, the light of candles, the light of child newborn to the world.
It doesn't matter what you celebrate, or how, it is only important that you do celebrate!
Hope you have a Merry Yule and Happy Holidays!!!!
