Dark To Light
A little late on this but today (December 11th) was a milestone marker for sun watchers at least here in northeast Oklahoma, December 11 ended the 10 days of shortest evenings this season. November 30th thru December 10th the sunsets at the earliest point 5:09pm then on December 11th the sun sets at 5:10pm. Yes the shortest day of the year still happens on December 21st, which has a sunset at 5:14pm. Then by the end of December the sunset has grown to 5:19 so a ten minute difference from 1st of December to the end of December. Not sure how it all adds up in your location but here at Latitude 36.0609° N, and Longitude 95.7975° W, the light is happening in the PM.
