During Covid, I held a virtual Christmas gathering by painting all my distant friends partying in my Victorian home. Here are my husband and myself, as the hosts. #art #artwork #painting #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolors #arting #artist #artists #housepaint #suits #suit #formal #party #holiday #holidayparty #chritmasparty #christmastime #christmas #holidays #wintersolstice #solstice #boxingday #Hanukkah #Kwanzaa #celebrate #celebrating #Celebration #happy #happyhappyjoyjoy #covid

Christmas Eve, 1973.

I have been an Atheist the majority of my life, but I still enjoy celebrating holidays.

Even though I've been an Atheist over fifty of my seventy-odd years, I still love Christmas Eve with family and friends. Non-believers are allowed to be sentimental about traditions and holidays, too. 1973. #christmas #holiday #holidays #tradition #traditions #sentimental #celebrate #christmaseve #wintersolstice #winterholidays #Yule #Dongzhi #Yalda #Soyal #Saturnalia #StLuciasDay #boxingday #atheist #atheist #atheism #goodwithoutgod #atheistsrock #family #familygathering #familyandfriends

Is This Anything?
A D&D One-Shot that plays out like a Hallmark Christmas Movie.
In the town of Wickhollow, the wreaths go up a week before Solstice. The winter baking competition has been running since before anyone can remember. The mayor wears a sash. The candle in the window of the oldest house on the main road has been lit every Longest Night for several generations.
Someone in your party has been here before. They lived here, they loved here, they lost here. They left. They swore they'd never come back. But the town has welcomed them back with open arms.
Something is wrong this year. It's not a problem that can be solved by hitting it, but it is certainly the type of problem that will absolutely ruin the Longest Night celebrations if nobody does anything.
---
This is the idea of a one-shot that needs player and DM input to fully flesh it out.
What's wrong could be a family feud nobody will say aloud. It could be a recent loss that the town hasn't fully grieved yet. It could be a ritual nobody remembers how to perform. It could be the reason the hometown hero left in the first place, a wrong done to them that still sits unaddressed in the room.
One in the party is the "hometown hero" of sorts. They've returned to the town for the first time in years. Why they've returned could be a recent death in the family. It could be an old love to rekindle. It could be a letter with no return address that somehow found them anyway. It could just be that they were passing through; they swear they were only passing through.
The rest of the party are the quirky and lovable townsfolk. A chimneysweep, always covered in soot. A stablehand who can't escape the smell. An innkeeper who reserved the last room just for the "hero". The child who still believes all of it, completely, without irony.
The climax of the story is not driven by combat, but by a speech, a performance, a small act of community that the "hometown hero" could not have managed at session zero.
And it must start snowing right at the end. That is not a suggestion. The DM does not get a vote on this. It must start snowing.

He estat pensant molt en els troncs de Nadal aquests dies.
A Catalunya tenim el mundialment conegut i incomprès Tió, però el tronc de Nadal és un element comú a les cultures europees.Els elements compartits són: un tronc al qual se li fan ofrenes i es crema la nit de Nadal, tenint les seves cendres qualitats apotropàiques (es guardaven tot l'any per curar, protegir, o s'escampaven per les terres de casa per assegurar la fertilitat dels camps).
L'altre dia estava agafant glans i picava amb un pal les branques d'alzina.
Queien les glans a munts sobre el meu cap.
Vaig pensar “és com la cavalcada de reis i els seus caramels”.
I llavors vaig fer la relació colpejar arbre = regals.
Perquè hi ha diversos arbres que es varegen per recollir-ne els fruits.
Després, el tió també es crema i tenim aquest acte d'alliberar la llum del Sol continguda dins la fusta per la màgia de la fotosíntesi.Un ritual de solstici.
Recordar que la llum no ha marxat.
Que la Natura ens assegura la Vida, amb llum i amb fruits.#solsticidhivern #solsticiodeinvierno #wintersolstice

Reading for this winter solstice night: the remarkable diary of Frederick A. Cook, one of the first people to spend winter on Antarctica, including a night which lasted more than two months: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/through-the-first-antarctic-night-1900 #Solstice #WinterSolstice #winter #LongestNight #shortestday

We had a visit from @ric parents this afternoon. They made me a Yule log covered in mushrooms to go with my mushroom covered Christmas tree. It's really cute and also delicious.

Shortest day of the year.
The light barely rises, the dark lingers longer than invited.But lighthouses were never built for easy days.
They exist for the long nights, the rough seas, the moments when direction matters most.The light is on.
It always is.#LighthouseLore #WinterSolstice #ShortestDay #KeepTheLightOn #IndieWeb #Fediverse #SelfHosting

Happy #WinterSolstice to everyone, from #Nucilandia 🐿️
Today marks the #longestNight and the #shortestDay — the #turningPoint. From here on, the #lightReturns. Each sunrise will linger a little longer, each day growing brighter than the last.
May this be a reminder that even at the lowest point, #hope is already on its way back. #TheSun endures, life persists, and warmth will rise again.

A blessed Winter Solstice to my fellow Heathens!

Today is the #WinterSolstice in the northern half of the planet. It will occur in just over an hour’s time at 09:20Z, marking the start of #Winter, accompanied by the #LongestNight. Meanwhile, the other side of the #Earth is half a year out of phase and will mark the start of #Summer on their #SummerSolstice and the #LongestDay.

“Surely there could be no darker place in the be-wintered world than the interior of Maeshowe. One of the light rays is caught in this stone web of death. Through the long corridor it has found its way; it splashes the far wall of the chamber. The illumination lasts a few minutes, then is quenched.”
George Mackay Brown
Fascinating #archaeology at the barrow which is lit by the setting of the sun before the #LongestNight

The #JuneSolstice will occur at 2050Z today. So that will be on the 21 June for the majority of the population of the planet. It’s the #LongestDay or #LongestNight of the year depending on your latitude. Roll on #summer or #winter.

On the night of Winter Solstice
When the questions loosened their grip
When Body gave over to Wisdom
And Mind elected freedom
In the flickering candlelight
One Who Sees
Did, finally, actually see
In letting go
She came home
To herself
A newfound, powerful flow
And such peace as she had never known before -
I've been texting my family group chat a daily countdown to winter #solstice the past few days bc I hate short days & cannot wait for them to start getting longer again!
Happy #Yule! Hope everyone has a magical winter ❄️ or summer 🌞 solstice today! May the sun shine brighter for everyone in the northern hemisphere tomorrow! 😊 Happy Holidays! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 #holidays #celebration #photography #longestNight #winter #winterSolstice -
Good yule, friends! When I’m able, I visit chosen family- the well at New Aberdour. I spent my Yule with her. #wintersolstice #wintersolstice22 #chosenfamily #sacred #holywell #yule #yuletide #yuleblessings #blessedyule

Even in the darkest #winter, there are #colours in our #naturepark #VosgesDuNord. You find them on #wood, mostly #DeadWood. #WinterSolstice #fungi #lichensubscribe
#GreenElfcup Chlorociboria aeruginascens (blueish-green), #DryRot (brown) and #YellowScale (yellow).
The beautiful yellow #lichen Xanthoria parietina is resistant to #pollution and used as a #biomonitor for heavy metals and #nitrogen pollution. You find it often near agriculture because it looks for high nitrogen levels in the air.

Happy Solstice! These delightful lanterns and Carol singers came up our street last night as they traipsed around the Pitsmoor Advent Window Trail. We piled out into the darkness to sing Diadem with them. Photo: Sarah Trueman #folk #wintersolstice #ritual #folktradition #Carols #community #lanterns
