As the vibrant warmth of fall gives way to the sparking chill of winter, mankind has marked the change with an extra special day of celebration. In the Northern Hemisphere, winter officially comes to town on the Winter Solstice. Scientifically speaking, this day marks the sun’s shortest path across the heavens, creating the longest night (or shortest day) of the year. On this day, we also celebrate the run returning as the days slowly begin to get longer and spring appears on the horizon. Regardless of how you chose to celebrate the Winter Solstice, the heart of every celebration around the world is spending time with those you love.
