happy solstice

Happy Winter Solstice / Yule to everybody who celebrates. I'm feeling pretty nostalgic for it all, myself, today - we went out to the ballet for The Nutcracker last night, and I got my annual viewing of Love Actually in this weekend, and I have a feeling I'm going to end up lighting candles tonight, and staying up until midnight just because. K and I always talked about staying up all night some solstice, and we never managed it - we'd always peter out about one in the morning. But staying up with a candle always makes me feel better about the winter, and makes me more aware of the fact that the worst of the long nights is over.

Maybe it's hypocritical of me, but I see nothing wrong with marking the winter solstice by lighting candles. It *is* the longest night of the year, after all, and after this the days will start lengthening again. That's an astronomical fact. ;)
