Twas the Night Before Solstice
Twas the Night before Solstice- Oh wait, is that right?
Follow this poem to the real origin of Christmas, of Solstice, and what used to be the same holiday.
Do you know why Santa comes down the chimney?
This follows the path of so many communities that celebrated the sun in winter- learn how both holidays used to be on the same date- until 1582 when the calendar shifted and they were artificially separated. This is the kids’ version of history- a story for parents and children alike. Keep the magic, and investigation alive.
Find the kid in yourself and allow yourself to ask real questions, even if they may seem scary at first. It brings us somewhere beautiful if you let it.
