& a Kewl Yule to You & Yours.
Wed. Dec. 21st @ 4:49 P.M. Eastern ST
is Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, in 2022.
Official ~ technical / astronomical Beginning of Winter.
Longest night of the year
- after this, daylight gets longer for half a year.
This is when the ⦿Sun is lowest & furthest South in the sky (Northern Hemisphere) - so note where it rises & sets @ your location.
This is also when the ⦿Sun enters ♑︎Capricorn - sign of the SeaGoat
- & last of the three practical Earth Element signs
- who makes the long final climb out of the depths of the Darkness to the Heights...

- & there's the Tropical Zodiac (by the Seasons or the Tropics) which almost all Astrologers refer to (it's Winter Solstice & by gum that's when the ♑︎Capricorn Goat begins his climb out of the dark far as we're concerned...)
That is - because the ⊕Earth wobbles a bit, like a top slowing down, the Signs & the Constellations don't match up anymore - & keep changing in alignment. The constellation the ⦿Sun is actually in @ Vernal Equinox, beginning of both Spring & the Zodiac, determines the Age we are in (technically, the Platonic Month in the Great Year) - what this 'Age of ♒︎Aquarius' business you've heard of is all about
...⊕Earth will eventually wobble back to where they line up again after ~25,000 years, if we don't poop too much in our own doggydish & anyone's here to see it...

Quoth the Grammarphobia blog [1]:
It wasn’t until the 20th century that the word “gas” took on the sense of “enjoyment, amusement, fun” in Irish English.
The OED’s first citation for the usage is from Dubliners, James Joyce’s 1914 story collection. In “An Encounter,” a story about two boys who skip school, Mahony tells the narrator that he’s brought along a slingshot “to have some gas with the birds.”
However, the usage you’re asking about (the use of “it’s a gas” or variants to mean it’s a lot of fun) didn’t show up in print until the mid-20th century, according to written examples in the dictionary.
The earliest citation in the OED is from “Sonny’s Blues,” a 1957 short story by James Baldwin in The Partisan Review: “Brand-new pianos certainly were a gas.”
Here’s a more recent example from Paul Auster’s 1990 novel The Music of Chance: “ ‘I’m looking forward to it immensely.’ ‘Me too, Bill,’ Pozzi said. ‘It’s going to be a gas.’ ”
The OED doesn’t speculate about the origins of this sense of “gas,” but it points the reader to a related slang word, “gasser,” which it says originated as a jazz term.
The earliest Oxford citation is from “The Hepsters Dictionary” (1944), a brief glossary by Cab Calloway: “When it comes to dancing, she’s a gasser.”
The Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang also links this use of “gas” to jazz. It cites several jazz examples, including one from Corner Boy, a 1957 novel by Herbert Simmons, in which a group of teen-agers discuss the jazz singer Nellie Lutcher:
“Man, don’t Nellie kill you?”
“She’s a gas, man, a natural petrol.”
