It is also the shortest day of the year, and it’s only 3 more months till spring. This is a time of celebration for many cultures and religions. For many it is a time of renewal or rebirth, a new beginning. A time to rejoice and be thankful for all that was bestowed us. And a time to look forward a prosperous new year.
