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.  Greetings to Gentooists wherever whenever !
