Indeed it is ! Us pagans recognised the solstice a few days ago, when we hide in the back of a nice deep cave with a supply of mammoth bones, but we also know that different tribes have different gods & it's natural for people to worship the gods of their ancestors. Christians have a charming story about a baby & Jews use a lot of bright candles to commemorate yet another rescue event; only the Moslems with their lunar year miss out on this season, but we can remember to greet them when Ramadan next ends, a bit earlier each year.
