Happy Winter Solstice 2012!

Not only was 12/21/2012 marked as the day that the world ends, it is also the day with the longest night in 2012. Is everyone alright? Yes? Well done everyone! Well done for making it past the Apocalypse! We're also halfway out of the dark. The days will be getting longer again. Happy Winter Solstice!

My favorite story about the Winter Solstice so far is Doctor Who A Christmas Carol (2012 Christmas Special). Technically it is a Christmas story too but, it does touch upon the Winter Solstice. The special features a haunting song written by Murray Gold and performed by Katherine Jenkins called Abigail's Song (Silence Is All You Know). Ever since 2010, this is my Winter Solstice song:


Abigail's Song (Silence Is All You Know)

When you're alone, silence is all you know.
When you're alone, silence is all you know
Let in the noise and let it grow.

When you're alone, silence is all you see
When you're alone, silence is all you'll be
Give me your hand and come to me.

When you are here, music is all around.
When you are near, music is all around.
Open your eyes, don't make a sound.

Let in the shadow, let in the shadow,
Let in the light of your bright shadow.

Let in the shadow, let in the shadow.
Let in the light of your bright shadow.

Let in the light.
Let in the light.
Let in the light of your sweet shadow.

When you're alone, oh,
Silence is all you know.
Silence is all,
Silence is all around.
Silence is all
Silence is all around
