It is that time of the year when the darkness peaks. Yes it is the darkest day of the year, the 20th and 21st of December are the darkest days of the year I think. When I think of the darkest day, I think of Blackjack the card game because the goal of the game is to get close to 21 without going over that number, to be closer to 21 than the card dealer without going bust.
The day time lasts a few minutes longer on Christmas day. The days get progressively longer every day after the 21st of December. I guess on the other side of the equator the opposite is happening, it is the longest two days of the year.
I recall telling my smart speaker that I had lost my phone once. The smart speaker responded by telling me it will call my phone and then it made phone call to my phone. I was astonished, I was joking, trying to point out that it couldn't help me, but it did. It rang my phone; I didn't even know it could do that. I never imagined it would react that way and I didn't know it could make phone calls.
