Aside from being (supposedly) the unluckiest day of 2017, Dec. 21 also happens to be the winter solstice, making it the official kick-off to winter. While many of us have been experiencing winter meteorologically speaking for a few weeks already — I, for one, have been doubling up my socks since Halloween — the solstice is a big deal because it marks the new astronomical season. According to the cosmos, winter is officially here, which means that it's high time for hot chocolate, electric blankets, and plenty of bright white, softly-lit social media posts. I know you're just itching to dispatch your first 'gram of the season, so here are a few first day of winter Instagram caption ideas.

With these captions ready to go for you, the problem becomes nailing the perfect wintry shot — and sadly, I can't help you there. Snow (if you even have snow already) never seems to photograph the way I want it to, and I always struggle to capture its natural beauty on my phone. The perfect caption can really save a so-so photo, though, so feel free to grab any one of these meditations on winter from literature and pop culture. Your followers might even forget that your snow pic looks like a giant white blob!
