WINTER SOLSTICE – THE LONGEST NIGHT OF THE YEAR On the 21st of December, the Northern Hemisphere sank into its deepest point of darkness. Have no fear, it is only the longest night and the shortest day of the year. Us living in the north was basking in roughly hours of daylight. In the morning hours at 5:50 AM, the astronomical winter will begin. The event brings a plethora of customs, festivities and superstitions with it and evidence of the winter solstice’s observance can be seen in sites around the world, I am describing a bit about our family tradition of eating red bean soup
