One thing about living in Denmark is getting used to the crazy variation in day length through the year. On the up side are long summer evenings with sunsets that never seem to end and lots of opportunities for cozy candles in the winter. The downsides are trying to get your baby to go to sleep in full sunlight and never seeing the sun in the winter. We have just about reached the shortest day of the year, which for us comes in at around 6 hours and 55 minutes. That means a summer day here can be almost 3x as long as a winter day!
As exciting as Christmas is, I also get really excited about the solstice. The days may be really short, but they start getting longer! It's like getting a present from Earth's orbit.
