The Winter Solstice!

Today is the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year, which is famous for being celebrated by modern day Druids, especially at Stonehenge, the grounds of which are open to visitors only on the winter and summer solstices. I have heard rumors that South Florida is a Druid hotspot and was hoping to celebrate the solstice down there to find out for sure, but unfortunately had to return to Denver for eye surgery. I recently read on the internet that the ancient Druids were really into human sacrifices. They would burn people in large wickerwork images, crucify them in temples, or pierce them with arrows, and then examine the victim's innards or death struggles to divine the future. I can see why modern-day Druids admire them so much. Probably all Trump supporters. If I had come across any South Florida Druids celebrating the solstice, which I imagine would look a lot like the scene in the photograph above, I would have liked to ask them if they, too, were into human sacrifices, and if in Florida it involved alligators and giant pythons. But sadly, I didn't get the chance. Perhaps next year.
