It's my husbands birthday tomorrow and he insists that the reason the nights get lighter from here on in is because of the light his birth bought to the world :roll:. Gosh, I'm so blessed! :lol:

Okay i nearly made a fool of myself infront of my OH last night!! Is it not the shortest day???
I also thought it was the longest day but the longest day is in June aint it!
Makes no difference me makin a fool o myself tho because i always do it! But was debating for ages that i was right!!! :lol:
Shelley, stop worrying.....Sunday 21st was the shortest day therefore it would have the longest night which I'm sure is what you meant! ;)
In the summer we get the longest day (of daylight) therefore it has the shortest night.
All days are the 24 hours long; it's only the daylight that fluctuates.....
