Yes. Too many people forget that the origins of most of why and how we celebrate the season has little to do with the birth of Jesus (which took place in the summer time according to historians' reckonings).
I am happy as days get longer again . I suffer from night blindness now more than before so daylight is very much liked . It is a very important day is cultures around the worls. And let us note the reverse is happening in the southern hemisphere.
Thanks for the reminder ... so things will be looking brighter from here on out!
