“O, wind, if winter comes, can spring be far behind?”
~ Percy Bysshe Shelley
Does the economy have you down? The stress of the holidays getting to you? Tired of getting off work at 5pm to find its dark outside and you missed the daylight?
Then cheer up! As of today (in the Northern Hemisphere) at 12:04 UTC (8:04AM EST) the days will grow longer and the nights shorter until the summer solstice, when the trend reverses.
 The Winter Solstice |
Lots of cultures around the world have celebrations this week, and have been doing so since humans started keeping track of the seasons.
