I just went out and launched a solstice rocket.

Celebrate the Solstice!
 
As close as I get to celebrating this season is the Solstice. Unfortunately, rockets are illegal in Canada. I'll have to settle for trying to fire something into W, as long as she doesn't wake up.
 
Known as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C5%8Dngzh%C3%AC_Festival" as part of the celebration.

(isn't this the day where smart people can balance on their head and not fall over?)
 
Happy Winter Solstice, Yule, Newton's birthday (sort of) etc. everyone!
