Darkest Day

Today is the shortest day of the year or the longest day of the year depending on what side of the equator you are on. If you live near the equator, you probably won't notice anything. For me living on the north side of the earth it is the shortest day and longest night. Every day until the 21st of June will get longer. I think that is what Christmas was originally about. The 25th of December is the earliest time when ancient people could tell the days were getting longer so they realised the worst was over. 

The coldness and darkness can really mess with your head so we need a party to cheer ourselves up. I just window shop online stores and look at the products and look forward to my Christmas Drink. I still haven't decided whether I will drink a whiskey or Taquilla. Christmas is for everyone, the Christians are celebrating a belated birthday of Jesus, the Pagans are celebrating the winter solstice. The atheists are just cheering themselves up. Everyone else on this side of the planet is just celebrating because it is cold and dark and we don't want to be miserable. If you're an Emo than this weather must be perfect for you, dark and gloomy. 

I don't even want to think right now. I just want to chill out and think nothing for a short time. Just think about reading and watching interesting things for a while.
