I agree entirely - midwinter was the important festival. The idea being to halt the decline of the sun and to bring it back higher in the sky and to lengthen the days. Midwinter marked the turning point. It was mentioned very briefly on the programme. Makes me laugh when I see all those people cavorting at Stonehenge to welcome the mid-summer sun. Guess they wouldn't be so keen to go there for a cold midwinter sunset party!.
