We had our Solstice fire last night and celebrated the change in season by roasting oysters and steaming shrimp - our favorite way of welcoming winter. Technically, I guess it was more a Solstice Eve thing since today is the Solstice. But, whatever it was, it sure was good!
Hope your first day of winter is a happy one. And smile! The days will start getting longer now.

Never too late to start a tradition and that one sounds delicious.
Mind if I copy you?
FC,
By all means, go right ahead! What we couldn't eat last night got breaded and fried tonight - yummy any way you cook 'em.
Bloggy,
You won't get a downer word like that again - don't cry ;)
Between Dec. 12, and today, we in Hickory have gained four minutes of sunlight in the afternoon. Now, with the Winter Solstice taking place, we are on our way to spring and summer. Thank goodness.
Sounds like a great tradition to me, but oysters and shrimp are a little dear here in the hills. I suppose I could substitute mountain oysters.
Uncle Bear,
I don't mind the winter, but I need plenty of sunshine to keep my spirits up.
Marvin,
Roasted mountain oysters...hmm, you could try that, I suppose. ;)
