The longest night of the year. Endurance, survival, turning toward the light. Renewal, days slowly getting longer.
This afternoon my son and I spent at my sister-friend’s house for Christmas/winter get-together. Lots of Danish hospitality!
R was getting lots of lovin’ from two of his aunties – hugs, kisses, mushies, and gifts.
Do you acknowledge or celebrate winter/summer solstice?
The title of my post is also about solstice. I wouldn’t say we do anything in honor of it but I am always relieved to know the days get longer from here on out! Your gathering with friends sounded fun!! I’m glad you got some social time in!!

I sure did! I remember I was lamenting to you that I have been feeling lonely since friends were tied up. But this get-together definitely filled my cup.

What a lovely way to celebrate! We did acknowledge it in our home! We were joking about how we took a nap on the shortest day of the year and forfeited some of our little sun to it 🤭

I acknowledged it to myself… quietly and gave thanks for longer days coming soon.

This is such a lovely celebration! I usually totally forget about the solstice, but I am very much looking forward to longer days!

I don’t specifically celebrate the Winter Solstice, other that I am very happy that the days are getting longer again, but what a lovely get together!
