If you’re one of those people who’s into the spiritual meaning of the winter solstice, you probably already have some ideas on how you’re going to spend the darkest day of the year.

In the evening, when it’s darkest, you could post a few cozy selfies to the ‘Gram with a darkness quote caption that reflects how you’re feeling about this sometimes gloomy day. Or you could take advantage of what little sunshine is available and snap a photo of the light with a winter solstice caption about how the days get longer from here on out.
