Happy Solstice / Yule... "Here Comes the Sun"
I don't know about y'all, but i am tired of it getting dark at 5pm...
I couldn't be happier that we have reached the worst of the darkness, and shall move on through to the light once more.

2. December 21st
We are finally heading over the hump, and back into the light again! :woohoo:

I know OktoberKid will be happy to have a little more light each day. It's practically dusk by the time he gets home from school, so the only time he gets to go to play at his friends' houses is on the weekends.

4. Happy Yule ThinkBlue1966
I enjoy the days getting shorter.

It means the weather is getting cooler.

I watch the sunset everyday, during this time.

Tomorrow is the big day.

We will have big party tomorrow here on the farm.

I look forward to it every year.

I have 7 couples to marry tomorrow night, a very busy time.

6. Call me crazy
but I like the early dark--I hate to see the longer days...

But then, I love winter and the cold and snow and such.
