Today is the Winter Solstice. I couldn't be happier because I LOVE winter. I dig all the snow we get here in Germany, as I've never experienced actual snow before. I'm also Pagan, so today is a huge thing for me. The Winter Solstice is also known as 'Yule' for my people and we celebrate the re-birth of the year. Early Christians took our traditions and incorporated them into their practices, calling it Christmas. For more info, please consult these links I have provided. Happy day!! =)
