is today.  Yay! We start gaining light.

Yes, although I have to say that I actually enjoy the shorter days for a while...I find them cozy and have battery-operated candles with timers throughout our home...Of course, we have lights also...LOL...Dusk has always been my most favorite time of day, as I find this time of day very soothing and calming...I do wish that the time would just be left alone either way...It also makes more sense to me to have longer days during Winter and shorter days during Summer...It's Interesting how the light and darkness can affect all of us in different ways.

Happy Winter Solstice!

I think it's tomorrow, Tuesday.  Maybe it IS Tuesday in your part of the world?

In the northern hemisphere, winter has less daylight hours.  Has nothing to do with changing the clock.

Great, then I wish it would start getting cold. I'm sort of tired of the endless warm air, rain and humidity we're getting in the mid-Atlantic. It's not seasonal and not at all festive. Yes, the added light will be nice too.

Yippee! I was at Target yesterday and I found it interesting that all the college kids I talked to were upset that we haven't had any snow yet this year.  Of course, those my age were with me - we can wait until February because we know it's coming!

Yes, @CrazyDaisy...I'm definitely aware that, by changing the clock, Mankind is not so masterful as to be able to control the natural orbital movement of the Earth and the Sun and Moon patterns, etc....I was simply referring to the noticeable change when Mankind is in control of turning their clocks backwards or forwards which allows more or less daylight hours.
