Celebrating the Winter Solstice

Guess what's only a week away! 8)

Yes, and one week plus one day from now is the holiday I invented last year -- Longerdays.
Here's how you celebrate Longerdays: Get together with loved ones. Put lights, candles, berries, evergreen trees and other decorations around your home, or perhaps in the front of your home. If it seems appropriate, exchange gifts or cards. Enjoy special tasty foods. Build fires. Relax.
This holiday peaks on Dec. 22, but it continues on a lower key until you come out of work at the end of the day and the sky is not dark.

Oh yes. Don't you just hate it when it's pitch-black dark when you leave the house and as dark when you come home? :P
Longerdays can't come fast enough.

???But it is several days since I saw the dark. This morning sun rose at 5.43am and will set at 9.26pm ;D

Funny thing. I don't so much mind it right now, at this time of year, but if you ask me again on December 26 I'll probably give you a different answer. 8)
