Today marks the official start of winter. To which I say…
Yeah, sure it is. Now excuse me while I finish removing the 27 layers I had to wear outside on Monday to avoid frostbite…
I know, I know, today’s really a technicality—the winter solstice. Meaning it’s the shortest day of the year as well. See, science:

Although if winter is going to insist on starting weeks before the season’s official start, it may be time to rethink the solstice’s secondary title, and focus on the bright side (literally) as the days start to (slowly) get longer.
But if I’m being honest, with just four days to go until Christmas, there are more pressing matters at hand…
So, enjoy the official start of winter while you can…we all know February is coming for us…
…bi-daily smile…
