1. December 21st is just as long as any other day.
2. It is the start of winter, which means it has the shortest amount of daylight of the year.
3. Unless you're in Australia, in which case, it wouldn't be cold at all.
4. (The next 4 spaces intentionally left blank to allow for all the DUmmies to finish blaming Bush and global warming for #3.)
8. Typically, the coldest time of the year is sometime in January
9. There's also a full moon, so these DUmmies will be especially moonbatty tonight.
Darn Happy ain't we lucky we are not living 800 years ago. last time this happend. winter solstice and a eclipse of the moon.
All over the world the people would be marching men and woman to their centers of religion to sacrifice them to whatever god they had to bring back the moon and to bring on the winter.
This I believe is one of the reasons Christians moved Christmass into the time frame of the winter Solstice
Also notice Easter is also changed each year to coinside with the spring solstice.
Ever wonder why, Perhaps Mrs Smith can explain to you why Easter is moved from year to year.
Btw mrs. smith is our experct on Christinanty, she has all her ducks in a row. Very well versed lady and not a died in the wool tunnel vision person.
Happy, if you are not religious then it wont hurt to check into why those who are have beliefes at what time of the year.
