Now that sunrise is at 7:29 in Scottsdale, our morning dog walks are in the dark. I love when neighbors have their holiday lights on through the dawn. This morning, this "movable" display put a smile on my face. Whether it is Hanukkah's Festival of Lights, Christmas, Kwanzaa or hanging out with the pagans at Stonehenge, everyone loves candles and light displays to celebrate the Earth's northern tilt of 23.5 degrees away from the sun. My friends in Sweden saw sunrise at 8:44, sunset was at 2:48. In Anchorage, Alaska, sunrise was at 10:14 today, sunset at 3:42. Wherever you may be, enjoy this longest night of the year with some lights and merrymaking.
I walk morning and evening in the neighborhood so I especially enjoy the lights of those houses that leave them on all night. Although I have many paths I take to vary the walks, I pick the most Christmas-lighted ones at this time of year. Tom H
