Chill, take some onion head.
I dunno hey .. if I've had a lot of a certain alcoholic beverage .. my day is pretty damn short and dark.
This is so true it hurts.
You may know it better as the Midwinter Purchasing Festival.
Ahhha. This deserves a true story ..
I was working - at Christmas - in Japan, 2002 and someone asked me if Xmas really is .. Santa's Birthday!
Then we had deep fried octopus suckers for lunch, and not a single sprout was to be found anywhere!
Mmmmmmm sprouts or octopus suckers .. you decide.
Perhaps you're suffering from a mental condition known as HLM syndrome or "hopelessly literal mind"?
If so, there is an 51% chance that as you will suddenly snap out of it after a period of time. The reality of which you speak is an illusion. Time is not the linear constrained beast you describe. Clocks are there to deceive.

Frontier: You lucky, lucky people...there you go...an opportunity to buy our products & deplete your bank account, while augmenting ours!!
Community: You spoil us,
NB - Let me make it clear, I'm not in any way, shape or form against Frontier incorporating micro-transactions into their business model (indeed, 'purchased a few myself)...it's just that this idiotic statement needed addressing - Come on down to Logical Fallacies 'R' Us!
Because people still have money
Caught me, english isn't my native language so irony or sarcasm eludes me most of the time.
Glad to see it amuses you though.
English might be your second language but you were still right .. solstices. And given ED is a space game, why the heck not. Only problem is December 21 is the LONGEST day south of the equatorial plane (eg. Australia it's famously a good time for a barbeque). So now we know why axial tilt, is one of the stats given on the planets in game. Still have to give presents though I suppose ..
Time might be an illusion but useful nonetheless. Without it, all everything would happen at once! Roy Wood would get his wish ..
You have to wonder though, philosphers, if every day was Christmas - would any day really be?

While I am partial to a good sucker it is important to know where they've been sucking before they get to you.
Because its another example of the the stealing of our traditional pagan festivals by Christianity.
The first night of Yule starts tomorrow, (its a solstice celebration that starts on the 20th) known as Mothers Night or Modranecht (Christmas is derived from Yuletide -> Christmastide->Christmas)
You ever wondered why you used to see mushrooms on Christmas cards or where the Yule log comes from.
So if anything its actually started a little earlier.
We must embrace our pagan roots, make sacrifice and drink wildly.
An incredible opportunity to save your soul
What's this "soul" thing of which you speak?
