1. My unofficial saddest day of the year

From now on, for the next six months, the days get shorter.

Midsommar i Sverige! 55 years ago, I saw the midnight sun in Kiruna, and wished I could have it all year round.

10. Midsommer i Norge I saw the midnattsol in 2022

Somewhere around Tromsø. It was glorious and unsettling at the same time.

3. My unofficial happiest day of the year.

A little more darkness every day, crickets at night, autumn harvests and moons coming. There is no coziness in summer and coziness is everything.

5. I partially follow George Carlin's lead on this

I worship the sun, but I don't pray to the sun. On the other hand, nor do I pray to Joe Pesci.
George is on his own with that one. Well, he would be if he were still alive, anyway.

8. The sun is too bright and shiny and hot and is always the same shape.

A relief when it goes to bed earlier and earlier. The moon is a lot more interesting!

11. Mine too!

I love the longer darker days and the move toward hygge in general.
