While others may like winter or really get into celebrating Christmas, Saturnalia, Hanukkah, or Kwansa, I privately, internally celebrate that day, which is today, that is longer than the day before. The next biggie is the first day that is longer than the night before. I am a summer person.

I think you're early, today Dec 21st is the shortest day, tomorrow is the first day which is longer than the day before. Of course this assumes you are north of the equator.Originally Posted by Thomas Wilson

Today is my birthday and I've always considered it ironic that I was born on the shortest day. I'm very definitely a summer person!

Happy Birthday!

Unless the OP is talking about some obscure thing I have not heard of that maybe days are not all 24 hours long.... possibly they might be seconds different from each other???
When talking about shortest amount od daylight then I agree with Doug.
(EDIT)..... I just searched if every day was the same length in Hours/Minutes ... and it was hurting my brain trying to understand it!!!!!!!

Lisa, We hope it’s a great day for you. I once worked in a greenhouse that stayed 130 degrees, That’s “hot before high” summer. A trip
out side to 95 needed a sweater!
First Day of the Year?
That would have been last January

Good year 72 they built my pickup truck

My guess was that was due to location, location, location.
Thanks to all who spent their longest years on our behalf.

I graduated high school in '72, so now there's an explanation as to why it seemed like it'd never end!!
(even if it WAS only 5 months of actual school!)
========================================
ELEVEN - rotary cutter tool machines
FOUR - CO2 lasers
THREE- make that FOUR now
ONE - vinyl cutter

It always seems to me that it is well into January before the days really start to feel longer.

But it was only two seconds longer then mine five years latter.I graduated high school in '72, so now there's an explanation as to why it seemed like it'd never end!!
