Dec 21 winter soltice: Celebrate our dark side?

@sarah_lea12 that is the traditional international celebration of light, so you're in the majority. I've never heard of anyone celebrating darkness on the Winter Solstice - or on any day for that matter. To me, it doesn't make sense to celebrate light on the darkest day of the year. It makes sense to start celebrating light on the 22nd. But I'm typically an unconventional thinker. Since there are no Winter Solstice Police monitoring how we celebrate the day, I decided to celebrate my darkness. 😊

No, they start getting lighter on the 22nd. The 21st is the darkest. It's not an opinion, but a fact.

Think of it as New Year's Eve being the day before New Year's Day. Or Christmas Eve being the day before Christmas Day. The same way the Winter Solstice is the Eve to Lighter Days.

(Sorry @sarah_lea12 I misread the thread and thought you posted your last post again. My apologies for seeming to hammer at my point.)

I adore Leonard Cohen's voice and music.
Nick Cave is another talented poet with a distinctive voice and I will come back to his songs another day.
