SOME SHORT THOUGHTS!


   FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21ST., 2018
        SOME SHORT THOUGHTS!

        It's December 21st. The Winter Solstice.
The shortest day of the year! Or so they say!
        My wrist watch still ticks off 24 hours
before this day we call Friday draws to
a close. So, in that respect, it's exactly the
same length as any other day.
         It is, however, the shortest day in terms
of the amount of daylight we see. As a matter
of fact if you lived at the North Pole you'd
never see the sun at all today! Maybe that's
why Santa heads out of there about this time
each year.
        I don't know if it's got anything to do with
the lack of sunlight or not. But this is also
National Flashlight Day!
        But wait, there's more. December 21st is
Crossword Puzzle Day, Forefather's Day, and
Humbug Day. The latter is a Copyrighted
"Holiday."
        So rather than curse the darkness, grab
your flashlight and settle down with a good
Crossword puzzle about your Forefathers.
        Or, just stare out into the blackness and
yell "Bah Humbug!"
        On the brighter side (and this is also
Look On The Brightside Day) every day
from here on sees a little more daylight! And
that's something to look forward to!
         Hope all your NEWS is good!
