There's an article here that explains why, though I don't actually understand it, being one of those folks who looked on in puzzlement while people circled an orange around a lamp and explained summer and winter to me. I understood it for about five minutes, I think.
A friend in the Southern Hemisphere points out that for her this is one of the shortest nights ever. There is a certain strange balance in all things.
But locally there's sure as heck a long cold night acoming.
I light candles against all the kinds of darkness. Many good wishes for every one of you as the sun returns.
