The UK's Telegraph has a countdown application and Winter Solstice is about 2 hours away.
Here is the link to the article with that meter: When is the 2015 winter solstice? Everything you need to know about the shortest day of the year.
Not everyone in the world celebrates Christmas. There are a number of different celebrations during this time of year. One of which is Yule.
Yule harkens back to Odin and Norse mythology. It is a time to butcher livestock for their meat, the mead/ale was ready in their casks, and the freezing weather was the death cycle of nature.
The Winter Solstice became a celebration of life, and the upcoming renewal of spring.
So this night of the longest darkness and shortest light, be thankful that tomorrow begins the cycle of renewal.
