Isn't it weird? You know how the solstices move around, with the winter solstice normally falling on Dec 21st, but sometimes on Dec 20th or the 22nd?

Well, this year it's fallen on March 296th!

In an unprecedented turn of events, Christmas has moved too, to March 300th! Quite a coincidence that despite the move, the day-of-month it falls on is still a round number in the base 10 counting system. Even more of a round number than the 25th.

I hope your solstice and holiday season doesn't suck too badly. Fingers crossed for a non-dystopian 2021!

It's slipped a day from the 21st this year, because of how a year isn't exactly 365 days long, but the leap year next February will sort that out so it'll be back again next year.

Anyway, here's looking forward to the days getting longer, even if only verry...slowly to begin with, from now on.

Best wishes for whatever celebrations you take part in this midwinter!

Edit: Bonus link - Why isn’t the new year on winter solstice? Short answer: the Romans had no fucking idea how to run a calendar. Long answer... read the link! (via Pharyngula)
