December 22nd is the day of the winter solstice (冬至), which has the shortest amount of daylight (最短の日照時間) of the year. In some countries, this day represents the middle of winter; in others, however, it marks the start of the coldest season. Either way (どちらにしても), starting tomorrow the days will get longer . . . until the summer solstice (夏至) arrives on June 22nd.
Shine on,

P.S. In the Northern Hemisphere (北半球), the 2018 winter solstice occurred at 7:23 a.m., Japan Standard Time (日本標準時).
