A big plus to being married is having wonderful in-laws to gift my art to every Christmas.

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 wish I could remember who made the beautiful red papier-mâché dog at front, and who it was gifted to! #christmas #memory #memories #christmasmemories #xmas #1970s #twentiethcentury #holiday #holidays #wintersolstice #solstice #winter #stluciaday #kwanzaa #hanukkah #boxingday #BarbraStreisand #theowlandthepussycat #gift #gifts #gifting #givinggifts #christmaseve #traditional #traditions #holidaytradition #holidaytraditions #friend #friendships #papiermache #art #art

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

Lewistown had a major resurgence of painted holiday windows, this solstice season, and this resident couldn't be happier. HUZZAH! #solstice #wintersolstice #christmas #hanukkah #stluciaday #boxingday #kwanzaa #holiday #holidays #winterholidays #paintedwindows #decorated

Greetings, fellow Fedizens. Winter solstice has passed and the days are getting longer, hooray. (Those of us in the Southern half, your time will come.)

Another hour, and the first slightly longer day will begin in my part of the world. The sky is already brightening, and the birds in the garden are busy announcing the new day.

This is as good a day as any to celebrate Joan Mastodon's special ambassodor in the Arctic, the wonderful @NunavutBirder. He too has reason to rejoice: for him up in #Nunavut, it's only six weeks until the sun will rise again, ending the long unbroken arctic winter night:

May 2026 be the year where the ever extending political and cultural darkness begins to recede.

Related to #Imbolc, Candleday etc- all based on the #CrossQuarter day, halfway between #WinterSolstice and #SpringEquinox. Definitely still #winter here, but days are longer, we know #Saule is coming back! #pagan #animist #Alberta #SeasonalRhythms More thoughts on the day and season:

Thankfully we've arrived at the #WinterSolstice. Here's to the light and colour returning for the new year!
