About December Solstice
The December Solstice marks the shortest day and longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. It serves as a symbolic turning point in the winter season, often associated with ancient midwinter traditions and the gradual return of daylight. While not a public holiday, it is widely recognized across Ireland as the start of the deep winter period.
