Some things I missed

I had all intentions on posting more about our Winter Solstice but that week of Solstice and then Christmas just flew by so fast.

These two books are favorites of ours leading up to the Solstice. They are similar, they both have a good history overview plus the scientific facts regarding the tilt of the earth in relation to the sun. All written in ways that kids can understand. They both also have some activities and recipes. Coupled with some of the myths and old stories in "Circle Round" and "Celebrating the Great Mother" I think we get a pretty complete picture of Winter Solstice to read through.

We didn't do anything else really special at home this year because we had the annual Solstice celebration at church that Tuesday night.
