      Because many people have the genetics from the winkings and native people.
      Im danish and we all are strongly connected to the nature from the time when we were native people and had to live of and follow the seasons of the nature, in order to survive.
      We have the same tradition with Lucia light celebration the shortest day of the year. Almost....the traditions are a little mixed. Here Im refering to the shortest day of the year, which in Denmark is the 21. December, but we celebrate Lucia day the 11. December.

    I’m thinking now that this is what we were made for. To protect the earth and focus on how important and amazing nature is. Instead, we’re having the earth die and I think everyone wants to help but most people are just not caring enough to actually help. People at least need to know that even picking up *one* thing that is plastic, or littered can change the earth to be a better place. Just having enough people doing that can at least change in to be better

The earth survived an impact from a Mars sized planet leading to the creation of our moon, and you think anything we humans could do could possibly kill the earth? Morons. We can kill ourselves most of nature but we have no power over the earth. In time the earth wont even have any evidence of our existence on it.

This year Lucia was even more significant than Christmas maybe because of The Covid: There is so much hope in this celebration. Light versus the darkness.

    We would sing songs and preform acts or say poems in front of the hundreds of people watching. Good times...

    Since I was a kid I loved winter and snow. I always remember during winters listening to classical music, reading Tolkien and happy because the day was so short.
    When I grew up, I discovered heavy metal and Norse mythology.
    In January 2018, after a few days in Russia, I rented a car in Helsinki and headed north. I traveled the routes and roads that were deserted (yes, I made a stop at Bodom Lake). Listening to heavy metal and electronic music. Only white roads, full of snow and forests. Those who went to Lapland in winter will understand me.
    I spent a few days until I reached Levi, where I saw my first Aurora. I was alone (my girlfriend accompanied me in thought), with a bottle of 21-year-old whiskey and listening to Apocalyptica. Nothing else matters.
    Then I kept traveling until I reached Nordkapp and went down to the Lofoten Islands. On the way I stayed 4 nights in Skibton.
    Eternal night with only 3 hours of light. The "sun" on the horizon. Snow everywhere. Endless forests. I really felt like I had never felt before. I felt at home. I hope to come back soon. So many thanks for the video. A hug from the Argentinian Patagonia.
