Winter Solstice 2023 is falling on Thursday, December 21, 2023 at 10:27 pm EST
December 21, 2023 is going to be the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere with the longest night
When the Northern pole of the Earth tilts farthest away from the Sun (at about 23.4 degrees), the winter solstice occurs in the entire Northern Hemisphere
The Northern Hemisphere will experience winter with longer days and shorter nights until the hours of day and night become equal
Homebodies can enjoy winter solstice by lighting lanterns and relishing mulled wine, pastries, chicken, hot chocolate and sweet candies
Watch the sunrise or sunset on mountains or stargaze under a clear night sky away from the polluted city atmosphere
