Today is the Winter Solstice, officially the first day of Winter in the Northern Hemisphere. The word solstice originates from Latin, meaning “sun” and “to stand still.” Holidays such as Yule and Christmas are celebrated at this time of year.

To our executive administrator, it is happily the longest night of the year.

If you see her after sunset tonight, wish her a Happy Winter Solstice.
