I love long summer days and prefer to be outdoors.

Summer solstice has been celebrated since at least neolithic times.

Summer Solstice - Alban Hefin | Order of Bards, Ovates & Druids
Glad to see someone who is almost as anal as I.

I went to the internet to get an update. Today is only the Summer Solstice in the northern hemisphere. My son in Brazil is experiencing the winter solstice today. The closer you get to the equator the less important the solstice is to me.

Having lived in the Boston Ma area for 25 plus years the Solstice made a difference to me. I tend to get up when the sun rises. Today's sunrise in Boston was 5:07. It starts to get light at around 4:30 AM. Sets about the same time as here. In the winter solstice period late December, the sun sets at 4:11 which really sucks when you work until 4:30. The winter solstice signals that sunsetting time will start to get later. It's a length of daylight time.
