Happy DongZhi!

Recommended Posts

The yin has just about reached it's maximum and has no choice but to make way for the growing Yang. I personally love winter solstice, much more than Christmas.

Remember to take it easy. Sleep, rest, then sleep some more before you rest. It's also a wonderful time for meditation and poor time for strenuous exercise. Magical time of change.

Happy DongZhi festival ya bums.

Soooo this means winter solstice/yule has a chinese counterpart too? Awesome!

I'm getting fat. Happens every year.

 

We spent the evening at the neighbors who had organized a kind of St John's Fire Festival (very common here at summer solstice) in their beautiful yard. It was all set up like a winter village, with goulash and Glühwein and Swedish fires... Lots of kiddies running around. It's chilly but not really cold, no snow. Really a magical little event they pulled off there.
