Happy Winter Solstice everyone! Anyone celebrating today? If you do how do you celebrate it?

Apparently tonight we'll be able to see Jupiter and Saturn line up in the sky, which I really hope I'll be able to see tonight myself.

@Ariella74: Hey Ariella :) doesn't really matter what you got, just as long as you're having a nice time today, just take time to treat yourself and relax for the day

@Totalanimefan: It's also pretty cloudy here, I'm just hoping things will clear up a tad so I can maybe catch a glimpse. If not, there'll always be some photos online. You doing anything special today? I made some chocolate chip cookies to celebrate and I'm gonna be using a candle I made along with a couple other smaller ones to light up my room tonight rather than using the normal lights

@Nephila: Wow that sounds like a real fun time you've got planned out! I would make a nice dinner for everyone but sadly money's kinda tight in my house, so it'll probably just be another night of fake mashed potatoes and turk'y cutlets for me and take out for everyone else.

I'm gonna light a candle for the members of the family that've passed, do you guys do something similar? I'm not religious so I kinda just do it from a point of spiritualism and trying to respect ancestors and whatnot, I'm kind of making up my own traditions lol

@Purpsy: I live in a normal neighborhood with smaller houses, so I'm probably gonna go sit out on my garage's roof and stargaze if it's nice enough out tonight

@Purpsy: It's gonna be below freezing tonight but hopefully it'll be worth it in the end if I'm able to see anything. But who knows with the city light pollution we got here, crossing my fingers

Update on the conjunction for me: sadly the light pollution in my city makes it so I can't see it, if anyone else can see it and get a good photo, please post it here!
