The pedantry comes when some clever b*gger points out that the 21st December was 24 hours long, just like the remaining 364 days of the year...

Shortest number of daylight hours...

😂

It was so dark and wet here that the daylight only seem to last for a couple of hours.

Yay! Thank Goodness. Bring on the Springtime it's been dark too long. I've been looking forward to this day for months here in deepest, darkest Scotland.
