Happy Solstice to those who celebrate. Also, happy Saturnalia.
The way i celebrate is is a little more self-indulgent. My version of Solstice is basically, Xmas for myself (well without Santa, Rudolph, elves, ets). It started several years ago, i bought DVDs/Blu-Rays and video games at Black Friday. i decided that i would wrap these "presents" and open them on Solstice. i guess i expected Xmas to be lame those years or something.
Since then, due to stimulus checks and the like, this has expanded to 1 or 2 puzzles, vintage-ish toys (like Masters of the Universe Origins), LEGO/MEGA, and an ounce of silver (rarely). Also, the time frame has been extended, some of the Solstice present i will open this year were bought December 2022 (day after Xmas is the start of a new Solstice period).
Barring a lottery win or an unexpected windfall, it will be significantly scaled back in the future (not like there are many modern movies worth watching). My TV on DVD/Blu-Ray collection prospects are limited (unless i replace DVDs with Blu-Rays).
