Hmm, this is going to be tough down here. :-) Will have to try and be creative.

I guess it is not the perfect time for you down there Fuzz! sorry! I look forward to seeing what you come up with

For me the solstice is all about decorating and lighting to bring some warmth back to the dark landscape
