Here on the east coast, the solstice occurs this evening about a dozen minutes before midnight.

candlelight traditions
Dec. 21st, 2015 09:34 amI’ve been reading about British Christmas traditions and came across the Advent Candle, one variation of which is to light one candle on Dec 1st, two on Dec 2nd, and so forth through Christmas Eve. (Apparently you get large candles and burn them only a bit each day because otherwise you’d be buying a heck of a lot of candles!) I started on the 18th so I’ll be up to only seven candles by Christmas Eve this year.
Presumably not a lot of people do this, but I thought it’d be a lovely winter solstice tradition. Or it might work nicely in a ritual. Start with one candle. Light the four quarter candles off from that. Then light other candles (each person could be holding a candle or there could be candles at the edge of the room) and watch the light grow. ;-)
