Hip Hip Hooray, it's the Shortest Day

There's not many things that I can get excited about during this time of year.
I always feel so lousy for Christmas and New Years that spending the holidays on my couch, watching surfer movies and surrendering to the un-social side of SAD would be my preference. However, friends and family tend to not entertain this (my) holiday 'tude, and insist I make appearances regardless of my mood.  Making me sometimes wonder if they're all slightly masochistic.

Regardless.
I do get excited about today.
Today is MY Christmas
Today is MY New Year's Eve
Today

is the shortest day of the year.

Meaning -
Tomorrow the days start getting longer.

Awesome.(zero sarcasm)
Today I will walk around with a Mona Lisa smile and know that I made it this far and therefore I can make it the rest of the way out of this winter.
