Winter Sostice Tomorrow is winter sostice.This year it falls on Dec. 22nd. Winter solstice is a very important solar term in Chinese Lunar calendar.

Some places even have the tradition to offer sacrifices to the heaven and earth. In my hometown,people have dumplings this day. An chinese fairy tale says that if we don't have dumpling this day,our ears will be removed from our heads by coldness.Thought we dont' believe it, we still keep this custom.Maybe because dumplings are delicious. Usuallly they are served with vingar, garlic, ginger and fried hot pepper powder. Our first greeting on this day is "Have you had dumplings today?"
