We eat sticky rice balls (tang-yuan) here for the winter solstice. Eating the rice balls marks the accomplishment of a year cycle. This is the day when the sun reaches its lowest point in the sky, the shortest day of the year. From now on, the days are getting longer- until the summer solstice.
Kids are often told to eat the rice ball or they wouldn't grow one more year old.
The sun is reaching higher, so things are getting brighter from this day on.
Happy holidays.
