Google Doodle Celebrates first day of Winter Season with an graphical animated doodle, as last letter 'E' of doodle is weaving a woolen hand glove to form Google letters.
21st December the first day of Winter Solstice. As the winter arrives, the sun's maximum elevation during the day, the elevation at noon, gets lower. This maximum elevation attains its lowest value at the winter solstice and after that it starts to increase.
The winter solstice itself lasts only a moment in time, so other terms are used for the day on which it occurs, such as "midwinter", or "the shortest day".
