> Being that, according to the way I'm reading the Persian solar calendar,
it'll be midwinter sometime this week. Do people up in the original Lowlands
do anything for midwinter?

When I was a kid there was much to do at *Lichtmis* day (procession,
pancakes etc.)

cf. http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Lichtmis

It is apparently almost coincident with the Celtic/Gallic? *Imbolc*
