I don’t like it when daylight savings time ends, and days get shorter and shorter. I get the annual winter blues.
Today is Winter Solstice. Yes, the shortest day of the year. And, there is something to celebrate: Look at the bright side, the day can only get longer from here on!
Well, of course, colder weather awaits in front of us in January and February. But I always feel like today is the day I can exhale and think that the worst has passed.
Have a very Merry Christmas, happy Chanukah, and whatever religious or non religious holiday you are celebrating. And, a happy new year.
See you again next year, everyone.
