Description

In many cultures, customs practiced at Christmas go back to pre-Christian times. Many involve divination--foretelling the future at a magic time: the season turning of solstice.

Winter Solstice marks the time of the year when the light returns as the sun shifts and starts to move northward again. because of the earth's tilt, your hemisphere is leaning farthest away from the sun, and therefore: The daylight is the shortest. Meaning that night rules. Winter solstice for 2005 will occur at 10:35 am PST on December 21, DONT MISS IT! info from [link]

This pic is for who I love dearly! No happy elves and christmas trees for you :-( Sorrie, I've been down these couple of days!

This is really great- you can almost imagine extending the borders of the picture and viewing a whole world in the same style. That's a great thing! :)
