Edmunds County Tribune -

Was the winter solstice on December 21 this year? It seems like I had heard that somewhere. That did seem a little early, but maybe not. At any rate it might be quite a long time until we begin to actually experience the effects of the longest day of the year.

Somewhere I also heard that there was less than a minute more daylight right away, so you indeed shouldn't notice that for awhile. But time flies when you're having fun or getting older and I would imagine that could be scientifically proven. Especially if it's in the form of a phone app. The number of apps are amazing and I would think there are new apps invented every day somewhere.

Anyway now that winter is officially upon us, according to the calendar and maybe even the actual weather conditions, Christmas is right around the corner, this Friday, Dec. 25. And New Years Day will be exactly one Friday from Christmas Day. And you all know what that means. New Year's Day Resolutions and the actual realities that will occur in 2021! Who would have thought 2020 would be this unforgettable and challenging back on New Years Day on 2020.

So here's hoping for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
