What's a solstice?

Well, a solstice is an event that happens twice a year when the sun reaches its southernmost or northernmost extreme. A socialist is a person who follows and believes in a bunch of different stuff involving politics and economics. If you want to know more about either of these, id recommended just googling it or wait until one of the all-knowing members come on to answer your question.

I think Diana means solstice too, as today (21st Dec), we celebrate the winter solstice. That means it is the shortest day in the year. This link will explain it to you.

[link removed] Here in the UK we have also had a lunar eclipse this morning, sadly I wasn’t up to see it :(

OoO? What’s that?

I saw the eclipse. Pretty epic. lolita99 is right. The celebrations orginate from pagan times when they would celebrate nature and what it provided for them

the eclipse was pretty cool, but solar are always cooler in my opinion.

Of course.

Or there is a “Samsung Solstice” it’s a cell phone but thts probably not the one your looking for

Hi Diana, I notice lolita99’s link has been removed.
This one may give the explanation she hoped to provide:

Here is a video made by someone who was obviously “celebrating” (Ahem!) the Winter Solstice, this time, last year:
