Winter Solstice

Today marks the official start of winter - it's the solstice. Good news for all of you winter sports fanatics since there are so many fun things to do in the snow. I can't wait to hit the slopes.

Today is also the shortest day of the year. If you are like me and want the sun to rise before you do, this is good news since the days will slowly start getting longer. Plus this is great for all of you folks that like to exercise outside since there will be just a little more daylight soon.

Tonight though, I say let the darkness be outside and get cozy inside. Light lots of candles, make a fire, make a pot of tea or a nice mug of hot cocoa. Now just relax - you deserve it.
