I'm not sure why the eve of the solstice is also called "midwinter" but here we are. The Winter Solstice officially happens at 5:06 am in my time zone. This evening there was a livestream of the sun setting over Stonehenge, which you can watch here if you've got some time.
Tomorrow there's the Great Conjunction, visible for the first time to humans since the 1200s! If it going to be cloudy near you tomorrow evening, fear not. There are many online viewing parties, with better telescopes.

Today is the beginning of my re-read of The Dark is Rising with the annual #TheDarkisReading book club. It's one tradition that's easy to keep this year.
