Running from Dec. 26-Jan. 1, festival draws on African 1st fruits celebrations.
#Seasons are reversed in northern/southern hemispheres, so #wintersolstice (north) is #summersolstice (south).

Merry #Christmas, a happy #Yule, a beautiful #WinterSolstice or just a good time!!!
The time around Winter Solstice is special to many cultures, and there are a lot of old stories. My favorite is the story of the Child of Light, who is born every year on the Winter Solstice as part of the Wheel of the Year.
And if there's one thing we really need in these dark times, it is more light, much more light.

Merry Christmas, Joyeux Noël, Happy Hanukkah, and a Peaceful Winter solstice Mastodon.
Unpopular opinion, but I'm loving the 12 hours of darkness. Feels cozy. #winter #WinterSolstice
#ArtAdventCalendar Day 23 +24 more of our #festive #decorations call them #Christmas or #Solstice either way we keep them up for many weeks- especially the #lights - to brighten the dark months. We have a birthday in the second week of December another mid January, so our season extends at least that far, usually a couple more weeks each side!

#ChristmasTree - or rather branches hanging from ceiling. I was celebrating #Slavic Koliada #holiday with one of groups in Warsaw, in atmospheric wooden house.
Poor quality is caused by weak light there. It was completely dark, only fireplace light during ceremonial part, turned on light later during feast.
Goodbye darkness, hello longer days! Embracing the extra minutes of light each day with open arms. #WinterSolstice
