PHOENIX, Dec. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ Prefer to celebrate the holidays in a more simplified low-key way? Are you looking for a tradition that focuses on the unique meaning of winter, and a holiday in which everyone can participate? "How To Celebrate Winter Solstice" is a new book for the whole family. What is it and why celebrate the Winter Solstice? For many of us who live in the beginning of the 21st century no longer celebrate or have ever learned about mankind's long relationship with the Winter Solstice that occurs every year either on December 21st or 22nd. We've moved away from an agrarian lifestyle that depends on animals, nature and the seasons. We now live in cities and suburbs that depend on commerce, industrial farming and grocery store chains. The deeper connection with the impact of seasonal change has become far removed from the daily conveniences of our modern lives.

  • People everywhere are voicing their concerns about the over commercialization of the season.
  • There is a growing desire to return to the basics: simple gratitude, respect and appreciation for our environment and for each other.
  • Kids can still experience the lights, the tree, the gift giving and the coming together with a compassionate and empathetic understanding for a global and universal perspective for the season.

In this new beautifully illustrated book titled "How to Celebrate Winter Solstice" modern sensibilities are combined with an ancient holiday tradition that honors the intrinsic meaning of the Winter Solstice in ways that are relevant for ourselves and our world. This little book explains what the Winter Solstice is and what it means for us. The significance of this time of year affects both our planet Earth and our lives simultaneously and gives us an understanding of how we change, evolve and stay connected with our natural world.

Celebrating the Winter Solstice is a meaningful way to incorporate a secular winter holiday tradition that all families can enjoy. Fun winter activities are available in PDF downloads for all readers and teachers. Download a class curriculum for teachers or home school learning, aligned with the common core standards for grades 3 and up.
