    Happy Winter Solstice

    Today is the 21st day of December, the beginning of Winter and the day with the least amount of sunlight. After today the days start getting longer until June 21st, the Summer Solstice.

    Might have to pick up some dark Christmas beer later on today & celebrate.

    If you're going to celebrate, then you have to do it correctly in order to get all the benefits of this day:

    Will the Dark Christmas beer turn to Light Christmas beer in a few days after the Solstice?
    While no one ever listens to me,
    I am constantly being told to be quiet.

    In a world of snowflakes,
    be the heat..

    If it's still dark when it comes out, see a doctor, quick.
