During that certain winter solstice the sun will be at its solar maximum. That means it will be at its hottest, and producing much more solar flares. Normally we are protected from solar flares due to our electromagnetic fields. But at that certain time our poles will be due for a switch, and we will be unprotected.
Ps. It won't matter if i rub it in your face or not. Because the second before something does happen, you'll be thinking of me.
