Gaze at a “Christmas Star” - On the solstice night, Dec. 21, the moon will be higher in the sky, but Jupiter and Saturn will remain closer to the horizon in the western sky and might look like one large star. The last time the two planets were so close was 1623, but stargazing conditions at the time meant the astronomical event likely was not seen by earthlings. The last time such a close pairing was observable to the naked eye was in 1226, according to EarthSky.
Golf – I’ve been getting out for more golf than usual this past month and it is just a beautiful time of year to be out there. Let me know if you’d like to join me for 9 holes.
Elf a friend- I’ve heard of Booing someone and even Egging someone but this is a fun activity new to me and perfect for cheering up a friend from a distance. You've Been Elf-ed! Start A Neighborhood Holiday Tradition | Organized Christmas (organizedhome.com)
