Fourteen days left to winter solstice

In exactly two weeks, on December 21st, we are going to have the shortest day of this year. Which also means the longest night. While this isn't much to look forward to, here's the good news. As of December 22nd the days will become longer! To me, it's the hallmark of spring. Although of course it will merely be the first day of winter. But each day will be bringing more light, and with it, higher spirits and more energy.

Fall is just the worst possible time of the year for me. I always dread it and I can't wait for it to come to an end.
