December 21 is Winter Solstice the shortest day of the year. Write something about something about the winter solstice.

Winter arrived,
at 2:44 AM Pacific Standard Time,
her icy presence sending chills up autumn's spine.

Sun stands still;
winter whispers sweet nothings
into snowbird's ears
on the shortest day of the year
in the Northern Hemisphere.

What new ornaments did you add to your tree? Did you add any new Christmas decorations to your display?

I don't celebrate Christmas so I don't add anything to the Christmas decorations. My roommate is celebrates Christmas and this year she added a rescued Santa Claus to the Christmas decorations. The Santa Claus belonged to one of the neighbors, but he and his wife had a fight. The wife took the children, the Christmas tree and presences with her when she left. The only thing she didn't take was the Santa Clause, so he decided to throw it away. However, my roommate caught him before he put Santa Claus in the dumpster and brought the little fellow into our apartment. Santa now sits on the wooden dining chair that we keep at the keep in front of the window.
