Thank you, Faldage! I've been arguing this one for years! In the old Celtic calendar, November 1st was the first day of winter (and, incidentally, the first day of the new year) and May 1st the first day of summer. This places the solstices smack in the middle of the season and not as "first day of..." as we perpetually hear from people who clearly aren't listening to themselves....
