Winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year and marks the beginning of winter. It’s usually around December 21st in the Northern Hemisphere (and June 21st in the Southern Hemisphere). Kids often enjoy celebrating Winter Solstice with crafts, games, and food. The word “solstice” comes from the Latin solstice, which means ” sun standing still.” This is because, on Winter Solstice, the sun appears to stand still in the sky before reversing direction and beginning to rise again. Winter Solstice is also known as Yule. People used to celebrate by decorating their homes with evergreens, which symbolized new life and growth. They would also burn logs in their fireplaces to keep away evil spirits.
