December Solstice, 2025

 

 

 Now it's December and winter is here. Meteorological winter began on December 1. Astronomical winter will begin with the solstice on December 21. Crowds will gather at Stonehenge and other historical sites to celebrate the shortest day, and the return of longer days. 

The year turns, and we begin again.

You can read more about the December Solstice here, from EarthSky 2025 December solstice: All you need to know,

Season's Greetings to all, this is the season of light.  Amid wars and plagues, climate change and political uncertainties, may this also be a season of hope, and peace.
