The Holiday It Was. Runner-Up in The Ritual of Winter Challenge.
Light a candle, for it is the darkest day of the year.
But worry not, for today the sun’s to be reborn. Now our days grow longer, the long nights shorter and those feelings of eternal darkness begin to melt away in the warmth of the ever-growing sun light. No longer must you suffer Death’s icy cold breath upon your nape or nipping at your heels or suffocating your crops or starving your livestock and children alike. Today the odds begin to turn again in our favor. Today light overcomes the darkness. Today we begin a celebration.
