You might be wondering, mama: what is the winter solstice?
The winter solstice happens when half of the Earth is tilted farthest away from the Sun, or when the Sun reaches its lowest point in the sky. Because of this occurrence, the entire world will experience their shortest day of the year.
This year’s winter solstice is set to happen in the Philippines on December 22, 2022. It’ll bring about longer nights, which means cooler weather, too!
Around the world, people celebrate the winter solstice differently. For some, it is a time to reflect about life, release the energy that no longer serves them, and let go of the thoughts they don’t want to continue feeling. Then, they set intentions for an entirely new season in their lives.
In the Philippines, the winter solstice is a great time to spend time with the family outdoors. As the country will experience generally much cooler weather than usual, setting a family trip to Tagaytay or Baguio would be a great idea.
Camping outdoors or staying out to stargaze with the entire family can also be a fun and memorable experience for everyone.
Regardless of how you choose to spend the winter solstice? Make sure you and your family are prepared for it.
2.) Light a scented candle to bring you to a reflective mood while you’re setting new intentions for yourself.
