I think of the Winter Solstice as a part of English culture, the yule log in its quest to bring back the Sun (not the Son). Happy Solstice, everyone. The New Year started on Dec. 21.

I think of Charles Dickens, too, for his social commentary. No overt religious references
in his "Christmas Carol" which I appreciate. Just peace on Earth and good will. Who can disagree with that (who is in their right mind)?
