Winter Solstice is my second favorite day of the year (the
day daylight savings time starts being the first). We celebrate with a big
bonfire, mulled cider and wine and lots of friends. We all write down what we
wish to leave in the old year and bring into the new year, toast the sun and
throw our written desires and our glasses into the bonfire! My horses watch on
from their paddocks. The next day we start conditioning rides for the new ride
season because every day we will have a little more light to ride in before we
get caught in the dark!
