SHORTEST DAY, LONGEST NIGHT . . . AGAIN

December 21, 2023 by

Today is the shortest day of the year? If that’s true, then the shortest day follows the longest night, or tonight is the longest night. There’s got to be some kind of astrological meaning, but I don’t know. What I do know is the night before Christmas used to last what felt like a week. […]
