December, 2008

Happy December, everyone.

The days continue to shorten, although the pace of their change is beginning to slow, as it plods it way to the Winter Solstice. The Sun will soon be at the southernmost point in its rising, and come the Solstice, will begin its northward journey again. The darkest time will nearly be over, even though winter proper will be only beginning. Those bright planets in the southwest after sunset are Venus and Jupiter, soon to be joined by the Maiden Moon.

Once again, we’ll be leading a Solstice Sunrise vigil on a magical hillside on the morning of Sunday, Dec. 21. Dress appropriately for the weather; we’ll be out there awhile. Survivors will warm up at Tim Horton’s afterwards. Let us know if you’re interested, and we’ll provide directions.

Margarian spent November tackling the National Novel Writing Month, a.k.a. NaNoWriMo, with a novel about our favourite boy wizard. And she made the 50,000-word goal with two and a half days to go! Congratulations, hon!

December's Birthdays: Searia, Jessica, Dianne E., Heather Dawn, Stephanie M., Diane W., and probably some of my Facebook friends.
