Tonight is the longest night of the year, tomorrow with the will of the old gods (and maybe a bit of physics) the day will be longer.

Set a candle in the east to encourage the sun to rise, and the season to move on towards springtime.

Cool Yule to you all, the true celebration of the winter cycle coming to its end

I didn't think of that. I was assuming the OP's location is Bristol in England

In a non-pedantic way ... then it is the longest night

how is it the shortest night of the year ? Surely it's the shortest day and longest night ? Otherwise it would be the height of Summer
