the watch of time

We are on the cusp of the two shortest months of daylight as we near the winter solstice; how can we turn this to advantage…

• Greater atmosphere for telling ghost stories
• When you carry away that holiday party glow, more people will be able to see it
• More chance to pursue the timeless ‘fewer calories, taste great’ debates
• Less likely to be seen gorging the last of the Halloween candy
• When you tell someone they’re leaving you in the dark, at least it’s literally true
• The holiday season provides more occasions to see in person family and friends you’ve only been able to communicate with by the minute through social media
• Higher presence of energy efficient light bulbs serves as nostalgic throwback to days of oil lamps
• More opportunities to watch overpaid athletes freezing in the great outdoors
• More time to test out those homemade candles
• That much closer to the end of ubiquitous holiday season advertising and programming
