Wasn't sure which forum to post this in, but because I'm personally a daylight-O-holic, "health" seemed appropriate. Anyway, I always celebrate the earliest sunset of the year, which is on or about December 8th. Sure, the days will get a tad shorter and the mornings darker, but it's afternoon light I crave and we're over the darkness hump! Just passing along my little bit of joy...

Will you be having a Big Mac, Filet o'Fish, Quarter Pounder, French Fries, icy cold thick shakes, a sundae and an apple pie to celebrate?

Every day, I check the sunrise and sunset times in the New York Times. We've been stuck at 4:28 p.m. for several days, and the sunrise times are still getting later.

Yep, that's correct, we've "plateaued" on the sunset. It will be a day or two yet before you see 4:29. If you could see the times including seconds though, you'd see that we're gaining seconds of daylight in the afternoon. alas, the days are still getting overall shorter until the solstice, and even then, the mornings will continue getting "darker" (later sunrise) until early January. By then, though, the afternoons will be noticeably lighter.

I wouldnt ever notice the difference - leave the house in the dark and back home in the dark - but thanks for giving me something to look forward to!
