Har har har! I celebrate the winter solstice, I just celebrate it a couple days after it occurs. Because we all know, the christians made it around that time to try and merge and wipe the other earth based religions because they couldn't just wave a stick at them and threaten them to be christian or else.
i too go for the Solstice
apart from the fact i am a pagan, i can more or less guarantee i get the 21st dec off work, which i can't for christmas
in fact i worked last night and have to do so tonight too, and i get extra money too
win/win as far as i'm concerned
