Today is the winter solstice;(to-u-ji).
As you know the period of the daytime is the shortest and the night longest.
We have a custom of eating pumpkin and taking a hot citron bath today in Japan.
Then we won't have a cold and be healthy.
In ancient times it was said today was the beginning of the year.
It may be reasonable as the day becomes longer and longer from tomorrow!

You enjoyed it, didn't you?
I like the smell too.
