It’s axial title. That’s right, because our world’s rotational axis isn’t aligned with the sun, those of us in the upper latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere get very cold short days and very long cold nights this time of year. That’s why we have a wonderful season of celebrating life with family and friends while imbibing lots of spirits (or invoking a spirit if you’re of THAT persuasion) and we decorate our homes, businesses, and other places with reminders of the light and green plant life that is to follow in the coming seasons.
So Joy to the World, the sun is coming back!
