me: so since the solstice is the shortest day of the year, we celebrate by eating the shortest of something. traditionally farmers would go out into the chicken coop and find the shortest chicken, but since we don't have a farm we'll need to do something else. here is a packet of spaghetti. I need you to go through it and find the shortest noodle, and we'll eat that tonight

slighty off topic but a while ago my bff and i, who also lived together at the time, came up with annual traditional folksy weather based holidays Butter Solidification Day is the first day that it's cold enough that the butter on the counter is too hard to spread. it is a traditional marker of the coming of winter and is marked with the eating of many buttery foods, to fatten up for the harsh winter ahead. most traditional BSD dishes involve melted butter, like baked goods , since the butter isn't spreadable (we came up with this one when we noticed the butter was unspreadable and it made breakfast harder, and we joked about this being one of the true hardships of winter, and the rest of the mythology followed from there) Butter Desolidification Day is the first day in the spring that it's warm enough that the butte ris spreadable again. it is marked by eating buttered toast and the like. it is also marked with an archery festival because alnilam fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Dec 21, 2017 |

Today is the only day out of the year that a bowling ball will stand up without falling over, like say an egg would if you tried to stand it up on it's end but who would do that haha! So anyway if you set your clock back one hour you get to relive that magic hour of Solistice and maybe Krampus will show up and hang out with you, in which case you can keep setting the clock back an hour and hope for more Krampuses (Krampii?) Have fun stuffing your stockings with feet! P.S.- don't forget to set your clock back to non-Solstice time or Krampus will come get you for being a bad kid if you're late! Pretty dang ironic if you ask me since he bogarted up all your stash https://i.imgur.com/QKTkerO.mp4 |

Winter Solstice, the bane of children everywhere who went out to play around the neighborhood but were told to be home before the street lights come on.

Picklemas is that special time of year when we all gather round to feast on sour spears. The surge of electrolytes and pickly goodness help you survive the winter by turbo-loading the body with healthsome brine. |
