What about the winter equinox earlier this week?

I'm convinced that Christmas (and the older celebrations of the equinox)
were invented so that we all wouldn't kill ourselves from depression during
the darkest, coldest month of the year. It's not so bad now, with
incandescent lighting and central heating -- but can you imagine what it
must've been like 500 years ago?

The modern shopping frenzy does a marvelous job of diverting everyone's
attention from the bleak and dreary weather!
