Girls, Let's Get Something Straight!

                                       Today is December 21, which means it is the First Day Of Winter.  So, here we are.

                                        However, even radio broadcasters have the misconception that today is the Solstice; today being the shortest day and tonight the longest night.  Which time has been building toward, since June.

                                        But, as I always say, the way I was taught, these events take place on the 22nd.  So, going by what I say--and who wouldn't, least of all myself?--tomorrow will be the shortest day, so get what you need to do done, and fast!  There is not much time.  And for those who enjoy getting lots of sleep, go to bed extra early, tomorrow night!

                                          I always think of that Bugs Bunny cartoon, which he comes up from his hole on December 20, rips the calendar page to the 21st, then says, "December 21st--First Day Of Winter."  Immediately after saying this, an enormous pile of snow drops on him, to last out the season.

                                             Thank God the season does not start like that, in real life.

                                              Have a joyous and safe Winter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
