I think it's interesting that we know the earth revolves around the sun and that we are not the center of the universe, but when we talk about the Winter solstice we mention where the sun is over the earth, not how we've moved and our position puts such and such area directly towards the sun.
Anyway, welcome winter! I'm excited that from here on out the days start getting longer again.

If you ever get the chance, ask Gretchen's sister-in-law NASA Janet about the whole Earth and moon actually being a "dual planet rotational system" rather than the moon simply revolving around the Earth. Mind blowing.
