Today marks the winter solstice, the shortest day of the entire year in the Northern Hemisphere. And according to some (bizarre by all scientific accounts) interpretations of the ancient Mayan calendar, the end of the world. Of course, there’s no exact time for the end of the world but feeling pretty inspired, R.E.M.’s “It’s The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)” seemed appropriate.
One other thing that is kind of cool, really is this: according to astrologers, we have the lived through a once in a roughly 26,000 year event. Being a bit of a space nerd with an interest in astrology, I’ve actually read up on it — it’s kind of complicated but long story short, it reportedly signals the end of one astrological age, and the beginning of another.

“Now Dasher! Now Dancer!
Now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid!
On, Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch!
To the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away!
Dash away all!” -

A 14-foot Christmas tree appears to be crashing through the roof of a one-story house in Seattle’s Magnolia neighborhood. Homeowner and architect, Patrick Kruger, created the illusion of the tree crashing through the roof by cutting a 14-foot tree into two pieces and attaching the top six-foot section to a piece of plywood that’s bolted to the roof. Kruger, studied the physics of an object breaking through a roof then added sheathing and typical roof construction materials to create the effect.
