Today is the Winter Solstice for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere. It’s the shortest day and the longest night — and the herald of the new year to come.
Writer Susan Cooper composed a poem entitled The Shortest Day for the Revels, a holiday tradition throughout many American cities. Both capture the day and the season quite well. Please feel free to check them out if you haven’t before.
And in any case, we here at JAT wish you and your loved ones well in this season and in the year ahead.
