December 2005.
Right now, when I am writing this, the evening of 21 december 2005, it is the longest night and the day with shortest period of day light. It is close to Christmas, or what ever you might celebrate it or call it. What ever reasons you may celebrate it, it is a tide from now on the days will be longer and the nights will be a tiny bit shorter untill another six months, when once again tide will turn.
Untill then a Merry Christmas, Happy Hollidays or Seasonal Greetings to every one and finally Happy New Year!
