Wonderful, very inclusive list! And, I must say, it's about time we atheists 
and other non-believers got recognition for our dedicated, persistent 
observance of Winter Solstice. By the way, I regret to report that our local 
Winter Solstice bonfire was unsuccessful this year -- heavy wet snowstorms 
followed by sub-zero temperatures made the brushpile unignitable by natural 
(non-petroleum-assisted) means -- so the Sun has not been shown how to 
return to full glory, and summer in the Northern Hemispere will be cancelled 
this year. Oh well, there's always next time!
