Journal question #7

The winter solstice comes on December 21st.  It is the shortest day of the year - or the longest night if you look at it that way.  After the 21st, each day in the northern hemisphere gets a little longer.  Still, this is the darkest time of the year, and many people don't like the limited sunshine.  How about you, are you bothered by the lack of light?  Are you waiting impatiently for longer, sunnier days?  How do you live with the darkness?
