All,
It's not Christmas or Hannukah yet, and I'm not sure about the other observances, but it is the solstice today.... so enjoy a lovely solstice and trim, trim, trim.
You're right, it is the solstice, but interestingly enough, the sun has been setting slightly _later_ each day for at least a couple of weeks. No, I don't understand it, but you can check your daily papers if you still have them, and verify that.
