After the time change in October each year, I just wait for the winter solstice! Like you, I hate it getting a little darker each day. Even though it's still dark early at the WS, there's hope because I can notice the days getting longer almost immediately. It's not surprising that this was an important day in our pagan ancestors' year.

Remember the ancient Druids,
Who drank fermented fluids,
And ran nekkid thru the wooids -
It's good enough for me.
Gimme that ol' time religion,
Gimme that ol' time religion......
