I'm sure you've seen homes where the Christmas tree was hung, upside-down, from the ceiling in an "artsy" gesture of defiance to the traditional upright position. This has always bothered me, made me uncomfortable, and alienated me. With your cosmological explanation of the Christmas tree, I now understand why it has so put me off.

I am enthusiastically anticipating the Solstice. The return to longer daylight is my source of energy. As for Christmas trees, my apartment is too small and I don’t really celebrate the holiday. That said, New York City is one giant celebration with lights and trees everywhere. 🙏
