One newspaper guy down here calls today the first day of summer, because of the increasing light. Of course, to him the summer solstice becomes the first day of winter...

Lots of reason to praise the light in that northern zone.

Can't say much about some of the comments though. The old ones needed to explain what was going on around them and so many of these so-called celebrations had a ceremonial side involving various sacrifices to insure the wanted outcome and the Winter Solstice ones had their full complement of them. And boy, do I share your feelings. I've been telling everyone to just hang in there - The days start to get longer soon, very soon. However it isn't exactly instantaneous, takes a couple of days to kick in, then wooo haaaaa we're off and running. Loved that analemma - a beautiful picture and a great bit of info.
