Today I am grateful for LBC radio because it costs me nothing to listen and it makes the day better to get through.
Today is the shortest day of the year, this shows that Christmas predates Christianity. Europeans always knew this week in the year as a very special time. They would know that after this week the days would improve and get longer. They knew that this is the shortest and darkest day. Even before Christianity was around Europeans would cheer themselves up with parties and festivals.
It is quite windy so I sense that the temperature may drop a lot very soon because when the temperature changes it is always preceded by strong winds.
