Time falls back.

When you awaken today, remember to check your clocks.  These days most digital clocks automatically reset; analog ones need to be reset 1 hour back.  8:00am rolls back to 7:00am, giving you an extra hour of sleep.

The Yule reference is to the Pagan holiday Yule which coincides with Winter Solstice

The Long Night Moon coincides with Solstice which is the shortest day of the year in this hemisphere, and the longest night.

Winter Solstice will begin at 8:58 am MST on December 21.

It is the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere; the longest day of the year in the Southern.

It occurs when the sun’s zenith is at its farthest point south from the Equator, over the Tropic of Capricorn and the North Pole tilts away from the sun.

In Earth-based religions (Pagan Religions), Winter Solstice is the beginning of the Yule holiday. Yule is considered the turning point. It is when the days start getting longer and thoughts turn to sunshine and renewing life.

It is also called the Longest Night.  Longest Night is recognized by many homeless advocacy groups.  Check your local calendars for their evening events.
