Each year it seems that the seasons change a little, and become less defined, yet certain traditions and festivities prevail to this day. Winter solstice, the shortest day of the year (and longest night), falls on the 21st or 22nd December, and is observed worldwide in many different ways. The Hopi Indians celebrate Soyal, one of their most important ceremonies, in which they call the sun back from its winter slumber.
