    wtf are you on about? The Winter Solstice is very much a verifiable fact (it’s actually the 21st so I was a day off) and marks the start of Winter in the northern hemisphere. Christmas is usually (I say usually so you can’t be pedantic about the minority outliers) celebrated on December 25th. That’s still only a few days after the solstice like I was saying.

    This comic is talking about the Christmas season, creeping into Halloween and fall festivities, which is very much true in the northern hemisphere. I see your on an NZ instance which, yes the seasons are flipped there, but don’t go getting butt hurt if you can’t read context clues from the comic just because it doesn’t line up with you.

      It sounds like you and drag agree that the winter solstice is only in December in the Northern hemisphere. You’ve taken on drag’s correction and understood drag’s point. Thank you for being so reasonable and open minded.

      Drag would also like to clarify that the winter solstice does not mark the start of winter in climates that don’t have winter. For example, in places that have a six season calendar.
