Wouldn't an observation or celebration of solstice sometimes be only that, and not worship, therefore not in conflict with Judeo-Christian beliefs?
It is like that for me. I am a Christian. I also burn a candle all night on the winter solstice, use an Advent calendar, leave the Christmas tree up until Twelfth Night, notice the full moon, prepare the boat for spring launch, plant and maintain gardens in a strongly seasonal climate, buy fresh vegetables from the street market in the summer, help put the boat away in the fall, and work on an academic calendar. All of those things are about savouring the cycles of change in the year and reminding myself to live in the moment.
