Today is the shortest day of the year....

... YES!  That is a good thing.  Of course, in the southern hemisphere it is the longest day of their summer.  Honestly, I don't want spring and summer yet.  I want winter with snow.  We had our crazy October snowstorm, and since then, nothing... not a white flake.  It rained all day yesterday, and somehow the Christmas feeling is not really there... yet.
