Five days ago we celebrated the Ides of March. Today we get to celebrate the our free annual trip around the sun!
I like the solstices and equinoxes (equinoxae? equinices?) because no one has latched onto them like the Hallmark Holiday (Valentines Day) or Halloween.
At 18:25 UTC (13:25 EST), we’ll be crossing the celestial equator and there will be much rejoicing.
Oddly enough, when I was in high school, I use to have an annual Celebrate the Solstice Party in the summer. I thought it was a great excuse to have my friends over for toasted marshmallows and whatnot.
However, I am pretty sure my parents thought it was freakish.
Just let out your inner druid. It’s a releasing feeling…
