@kevlin "the solstice moves around, normally falling on 21st or 22nd December."

Yes. That's 3 years when it's on one, and the 4th on the other, before the leap day does the reset. If you wanted the solstice as the first day of the year, you could use a different leap day

@bellinghman Yeah, I have a number of posts on leap years. They could have (should have) been done differently 🙄

@bellinghman But it is an oversight that I didn't link to one. Now fixed. Thanks.
