Winter Solstice sunset over Stonehedge

Yesterday, December 22nd was the winter solstice, which marks the beginning of winter and the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.  Southern Californa only basked in sunlight for about 10 hours. 

I think it's really cool that "secret Santa's" have been going to their local  K-mart stores and paying off layaway costs for those less fortunate. 

According to an article on www.nbcphiladephia.com anonymous donors are picking up the tab on layaways for families they have never met. 

The layaway tabs very from $30 to $1,000 and several donors have paid multiple tabs. 

I wish I had the money to do this for a family or two. 

Occupy Lego Land!!!
