Answer:
Explanation:\
While it may be mostly Pagans who celebrate the Yule holiday today, nearly all cultures and faiths have held some sort of winter solstice celebration or festival. Because of the theme of endless birth, life, , and rebirth, the time of the solstice is often associated with deity and other legendary figures. No matter which path you follow, chances are good that one of your gods or goddesses has a winter solstice connection.
Alcyone (Greek)
Alcyone is the Kingfisher goddess. She nests every winter for two weeks, and while she does, the wild seas become calm and peaceful. Alcyone was one of the seven sisters of the Pleiades.
Ameratasu (Japan)
In feudal Japan, worshipers celebrated the return of Ameratasu, the sun goddess, who slept in a cold, remote cave. When the other gods woke her with a loud celebration, she looked out of the cave and saw an image of herself in a mirror. The other gods convinced her to emerge from her seclusion and return sunlight to the universe. According to Mark Cartwright at Ancient History Encyclopedia,
"[S]he blocked herself in a cave following an argument with Susanoo when he surprised the goddess with a monstrous flayed horse when she was quietly weaving in her palace with her younger sister Waka-hiru-me. As a consequence of Amaterasu’s disappearance the world was cast in total darkness and evil spirits ran riot over the earth. The gods tried all manner of ways to persuade the peeved goddess to leave the cave. On the advice of Omohi-Kane, s were set outside the cave in the hope their crows would make the goddess think that dawn had come."
It means that a person is currently unemployed - having quit, been fired, or laid off from his or her job, or the previous job was temporary and has now ended - and the person has not yet found a new job.

Gilbert is talking about the unavoidably of time and doom in this line
Explanation:
Gilbert here says that the sun is “dragging them all back toward the winter”
Here the symbols of sun and winter are important to understand as well as the symbol of dragging.
The sun is a symbol of time as it is the harbinger of the new day and is the way people know that the time is passing.
The winter can also mean desolation and death too as the end of life is considered the winter of life.
Thus Gilbert here is talking about the inevitability of death in the world with this metaphor of time.
