    I figure the solstice would be a far better tradition to bring back. Party twice a year? Peak and summer the low of winter. Sign me up

      bring back

      Uh… it hasn’t gone anywhere. Just because you haven’t celebrated it, doesn’t mean others haven’t.

      Why just solstices? I maintain that secular society would probably enjoy the cardinal (solstices and equinoxes) and ordinal (halfway points) holidays that modern pagans tend to celebrate far better than the Christian ones. They’re evenly spaced out and correspond to changes in light and temperature

      My wife and I do this. Not all of our friends are up for it (some think it’s too sacrilegious, but like everything I do is I’m not sure why they haven’t got that yet)
