It's a holly Jolly solstice
To me, this is the holiest day of the year. So go out and party like its 0099!
Solstice is either the longest or shortest period of sunlight of the year, depending on exactly where one is. Our sun, Sol, is the single greatest source of power on our planet. With it we can, for a short time, defeat entropy
On every other day we may eat any food we wish. On this day we mustsorry; wrong religion. Right sentiment, though. On this day, in the Northern Hemisphere, the sun is less visible than on any other day. On this day a very real darkness reigns. On this day the powers of Entropy and decay are at their strongest
And so on this day we must celebrate that which makes us alive. On this day we humans must make full use of our faculties and send a message howling across the cosmos: We are human beings, we are alive and can think. Perhaps the darkness must come, but we will invent light bulbs
On the other hand, many of us will simply take this time to shop and celebrate an entirely different holy day. Fair enough
