Halcyon Days are the 7 days before and 7 days after the Winter Solstace. It is meant to be calming and tranquil like the bird with a similar name. Apparently in the Classical Antiquity this bird was thought to have these tranquil powers and could affect the atmosphere in a positive way. If you ask me it is a bunch of new age mumbo jumbo but It would be nice change of pace from the commercial retail frenzy that they wish was happening. So I don't know maybe Santa will start say Ho Ho Halcyon as he burns insence and smokes a mugwort pipe.
