Welcome to Day 15 of A December of Delight, a digital (and secular) advent calendar to help you unplug from the noise, ease seasonal stress, and create a December that's defined by you.
In the midst of the season’s busyness, there’s nothing quite as grounding—or magical—as looking up at the sky.
Whether it’s the twinkle of stars at night or the soft drift of clouds during the day, this simple act can help you reconnect with the present moment.
Today, take 10 minutes to stargaze or cloud-watch while listening to your favourite soothing music.
If you’re the type who’s enchanted by the night sky, this is the perfect moment to indulge in a little celestial magic.
Tonight, December 15, hosts the Geminid meteor shower.
It’s one of the most dazzling astronomical displays to witness—in fact, it tops the list of most prolific meteor showers of the year.
Known for its prolific streaks of light, this meteor shower is your invitation to pause and reconnect with the wonder of the cosmos.
To make the experience truly special, let’s gather a few essentials and head outside for a memorable skygazing adventure.
