Perhaps more than the number 82 is the winter solstice - or just plain ole winter.

Hi All ~
msolga, welcome! Kudos! http://www.able2know.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=51564&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
sue, did ya know - The word solstice derives from Latin sol (Sun) and sistere (stand still), Winter Solstice meaning Sun stand still in winter.
The American Hopi Inuit Solstice tradition
Soyal (Zuni and Hopi of North America)
Soyalangwul is the winter solstice ceremony of the Zuni and the Hopitu Shinumu, "The Peaceful Ones", also known as the Hopi Indians. It is held on December 21, the shortest day of the year. The main purpose of the ritual is to ceremonially bring the sun back from its long winter slumber. It also marks the beginning of another cycle of the Wheel of the Year, and is a time for purification. Pahos (prayer sticks) are made prior to the Soyal ceremony, to bless all the community, including their homes, animals, and plants. The kivas (sacred underground ritual chambers) are ritually opened to mark the beginning of the Kachina season.

I find its widespread celebration, in most cultures, of great interest.

Now it's time for me to take a nap, with a bow towards hibernation.

Thank you for the new thread, Stradee!
Just got back a while ago from picking the dogs up from the grooomers - they've got to look good for mrs. hamburger - and Bailey needed some tidying up from this summer. He got into some burrs - and I'm not as patient as Setanta. Where he spends hours (sometimes literally) teasing the burrs out from Bailey's undercoat, I pull out the pinking shears 
I'm going to try and get some photos before the dogs manage to get themselves unfluffed again
