It's the 21st of December -- the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere of this planet.
It's the start of winter and winter solstice time.
And for all pagans (and anyone else) out there... time for the Yule fest to commence (which ends January 1).
Image below depicts the rising winter solstice sun, lighting the entrance and creeping into the hallway to eventually light up the burial chamber of the Newgrange passage tomb in Ireland. If you ever get the chance to visit, do -- there's a simulation of the rising sun and it's spectacular (after all, the lottery draw is slim to win, and it could be cloudy).
