An Early Gift From the Mother!

It seems every year, someone comes up with some reason as to why you should open a Christmas gift early. Well,...the Mother has something I need and want right now. I can't wait another 14 days to open it especially with the multiple days of rain hitting our area and every car on the road trying to check me into the gutter once the sun goes down! Its a small gift but one I know I will use and greatly appreciate!
It seems today is a big day for sunsets. If you find yourself always fighting daylight, tomorrow will be the turning point; the high water mark for the sun's radiation. Yes,....today is the earliest our sun will set. If you round to the nearest minute, the sun will set at 4:44p.m., but that is at approximately 39 degrees north latitude. In the coming days we will gain about a minute of daylight every couple of days. That's my small gift that I get to open before Christmas. But the nice thing about it is I get to share it with everyone,...not that anyone is reading this!
