Happy Winter Solstice, ya'll.
Just to add a little trivia - to the Chinese Daoist, this is a major celebration called Dong Zi for it marks the beginning of the 'true new year'. Traditionally, the festivity is marked with offerings to the deities and ancestors plus the partaking of glutinous rice balls called Tang Yuan served in a clear sweetened ginger broth. Mostly plain, some of these chewy colourful balls are stuffed with sesame, peanut or mung bean paste. Neither paleo nor keto, but purely symbolic of birth and rebirth :)
