Some people are asking if the Solstice feast is on the proper Solstice. The answer is that daylight on the 21st and 22nd is the same length this year (at 6h 57m 29s, which is TOO DAMN SHORT), but that the astronomical Solstice, when the Sun reaches its furthest point from the equator, is at 22 minutes past Midnight on the 22nd.
