"The Ten Days of Newton"
Hey, it's an idea.
"Some years ago, the evolutionist and atheist Richard Dawkins pointed out to me that Sir Isaac Newton, the founder of modern physics and mathematics, and arguably the greatest scientist of all time, was born on Christmas Day, and that therefore Newton’s Birthday could be an alternative, if somewhat nerdy, excuse for a winter holiday."
Maybe we could make the Winter Solstice an opportunity for everyone to celebrate their own particular hero or heroine.
