Those of us in the northern hemisphere have successfully passed the "standing still" point of the season, the last season change of this calendar year, the shortest day and longest night of the year.
NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day, has a beautiful solstice composite for us and some explanation of the science on the same page. Of course, if you are in the southern hemisphere, it was the longest day and more and more dark will now be creeping into your days.
Having learned little new about the holiday this year, try my previous entry for an explanation of the Chinese Winter Solstice and celebrations.
