Wasn't it Friday last week? I have a friend that is a Wiccan (actually leads a group of about 20 in Nashville) in TN that I always send a card/message to. I wonder if I called her the wrong day and she was too polite to say anything.

......which was on 12/21, but some Pagans do choose to celebrate it on Christmas because it coincides with the celebration observed by their non-Pagan family members and friends.

Solstice is what I celebrate, both actually, but I'm not Pagan or Wicca n.

I had a nice day of solace, reflection and celebration.

And for whatever system of belief you subscribe to, I hope that all is well for you and yours... and everyone else too.

And may the future bring Peace, Happiness and Well Being to all.
