Yes, I’m actually on time, since it primarily happens on the 22nd this year! It was actually a pretty good day, if rather short…
We all will be looking forward to more daylight, although it takes a while to really start making a difference. Unfortunately it looks to be warm tomorrow, so the top layers of snow will likely be melting, with deleterious effects on sledding enjoyment on our the nearby hill. Drat, that reminds me, I need to shovel the edges of the driveway so I can actually see!
I can’t actually decide which sun milestone I like the best. I love christmas trees, so the long night just means that much longer that we can have the lights on. But I also love sunlight, so there’s something really appealing about having a long enough day that you can actually do almost everything you want to do, and then enjoy the sunset as you have your second dessert just before going to bed. Ah, well, I’ll just have to enjoy both of them!
