Spirit of Christmas & December Solstice

The December solstice, also known as the southern solstice, is the solstice that occurs each December, between the 20th and the 22nd day of the month according to the Gregorian calendar. In the Southern Hemisphere, the December solstice is the summer solstice,  but in the Northern Hemisphere it is the
 winter solstice.  It is usually consider a time for  renew and re-birth.  
Let's...
Celebrate together
With Family and Friends
Keep it simple is always the best!

The essence to rejoice
Is in your heart
The reason of the season
Comes from above
Is tough to perceive
If you don’t believe

Not in the wrapping
Or in the store
Nor the food
Neither the place
Deep inside
May find the reason

Under a tree
Around the table
Close to families
Or dear friends
Inside the church
May find the season
Have a Blessed and Merrier Christmas!

EL SOLSTICIO DE INVIERNO Y EL ESPÍRITU DE LA NAVIDAD
Los solsticios (del latín solstitium (sol sistere), es decir, "Sol quieto". Son los momentos del año en los que el Sol alcanza su mayor o menor altura aparente en el cielo, y la duración del día o de la noche son las máximas del año, respectivamente. 
El significado o interpretación de este evento ha variado en las distintas culturas del mundo, pero la mayoría de ellas lo reconoce como un período de renovación y re-nacimiento, que conlleva celebraciones o  festivales.


Vamos a...
Celebrarlo Juntos,
con Familia y Amistades,
De manera sencilla, es siempre mejor.
