ArdWrknTrk Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Welcome to winter! The days get longer, but still grow colder from here on out. Maybe a blessing AND a curse, but it IS a new season. Anyway, it is a celebration for me. And I'd like to take this moment to wish you and yours the very best these next couple of holiday weeks, and all the year long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Happy Solstice! It is a time for change. And I hope yours is a good one and that the holiday season is a happy one for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford F834 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Happy solstice! This day makes more sense to me as a turning point to the start of a new year than the artificial one on Jan 1. But maybe that’s just the farmer/gardener/botanist in me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gregorian calendar has been around since 1582.. I suppose Pope Gregory VIII didn't want to steal the baby Jesus birthday party glory, by having an auspicious event just days before.

Rembrant Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I'm all for the days getting longer! Winter came early here this year. We often have no snow at Christmas, and the ground is white right now...lol. Anyway, the worst is yet to come, but at least the hours of sunshine will grow. Happy holidays all!

We have snow right now, but the next 2 days will be in the high 40's - low 50's... looks like a green(brown) Christmas for us. Merry Christmas to one and all!

If I don't get my front axle mounted in my truck by then, then surely it will be mounted by the end of that two weeks. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toughest part about vacations is the amount of stuff to catch up on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
