Holiday?

I am not enjoying the rapid onset of darkness that seems to be sweeping over us this week. I know that we're not losing a huge amount of daylight time each day, but it bloody well feels like it. It seems that both ends of the day are rapidly rushing towards each other, lessening our daytime by about 10 minutes every 24 hours.
God, how I hate it.
Still, it is provoking me to make some plans that will hopefully help counteract the depressing nature of Winter, which include, but are not limited to:
Using the dark evenings to finally start practicing cardistry.
Spending as much time as possible outside with my sons.
Rewatching the entirety of 'The West Wing'.
Booking a Christmastime holiday.
Making good use of the sauna at work.
Keeping up with some kind of exercise program - if I feel fit, I feel fine.
Trying to see more of my sisters.
Reading.
Writing more poetry.
Guinness.
