As the year moves into its darkest stretch, humans across cultures have always paused, lit candles, and paid attention.

In this special Sky Notes episode, Tracy and Lillian explore Advent, Hanukkah, and the Winter Solstice. Each tradition arises from the same seasonal reality: long nights, uncertainty, and the quiet human need for hope.

This is a grounded conversation about why these traditions exist, why they still matter, and why this time of year continues to be felt deeply in our bodies and lives - whether or not we observe any of them.

No theology required. Just curiosity,  and a shared human story.
