日本ではゆず湯に入ったり、カボチャを食べます

カボチャ煮て食べよう

> 今日は冬至です、これから夜が短くなる

え？そうなんですか？
冬至って一番日が短い日で
それを過ぎると長くなっていくと
思ってました。

夜が短くなっていくことと、日が長くなっていくことは同じじゃないですか

冬に至る
これから夏に向かって行くのです

一般的な表現なら日が長くなるって言うけどね、
カナダ暮らしが長い老害は日本語ヘンだから勘弁してあげて

教えてくれてありがとう！
これから寒くなるけど、日が長くなるだけでも嬉しい。

カナダの冬の気温の変化は秋に急に寒くなり、春はゆっくり暖かくなる。
免疫の低い人はのどを冷やさないように、風邪は万病の元です。

私も嬉しい！この日を指折り数えて待ってたの。

冬至、日本はゆずやカボチャだけど、
こっちって伝統的なことありますか？

The winter solstice is culturally and religiously significant to many groups of people in ancient times that seem to find their way to modern interpretations.

Stonehenge in England and Newgrange in Ireland demonstrate some awe-inspiring planned placement of stones in alignment with specific placement of the sun at that time of year.
The Roman celebration of Saturnalia was celebrated with feasting, gifts, games and festive gatherings.
The Norse jól or Juul, referring to the pre-Christian festival observed in Scandinavia at the time of the winter solstice, featured feasting and caroling, as well as ceremonial burning of the yule log over 12 nights to welcome the Sun back to the world.
In China, the festival Dongzhi, or the “arrival of winter,” is an end-of-harvest festival, marked with a celebration of food and time spent with family.
In Indigenous cultures, the winter solstice was a time to honour the natural cycles and patterns. First Nations around the Great Lakes perceive the winter solstice time for rest for animals and plant and a time for people to replenish this spirit, reflect and tell stories around the fire.
In the nighttime sky, we can see the Seven Sisters constellation (the Pleiades), a favourite one of mine. Many cultures have stories around this constellation. In the Cree tradition, this star grouping is thought of as the hole in the sky and the place of origin to which the people would return.
