Yup. Nature is always in charge

If you live far enough north, then you get 24 hours of darkness around December 21st.

Nothing we can do about it...although the Christmas lights in December help a bit.

I was once (1979) in northern Sweden in early July. the sun rose at 2am and set at 10pm. Only four hours of darkness. I felt sorry for them when the opposite season would come, meaning 20 hours of darkness and 4 hours of light. 😱

Yea 20 hrs of darkness is rough.

They claimed that the darkness was why they drank Aquavit by the quart.

I wish I could afford one. I would spend tons o a pet once I fell in love with it. Have to think about my gf now ... so we will see.

Pets are great companions, especially for the elderly. 🐈

I think that's the best gift when someone opens a present on Christmas and it's a puppy.

That can never happen when one of your parents hates dogs. 😱

Yea my mom was not an animal lover. Lol. My dad use to take me to the pet store to play with puppies because she did not want any pets in the house.

 

[milagros317]

My father once brought a puppy home. My mother made this statement to him:
"Either that puppy or me will be in this house when the sun sets. Not both of us."
I believe that she was not bluffing. So did my father, and he took the dog back to the pet store.

I got lucky my parents liked dogs...but yeah if they don't like pets you probably can't have one as a kid for long.
