Raise your hand if you’re excited for more sunlight! 🙋‍♀️🙋🌞

Since the winter solstice on December 21, the Sun started setting one minute later each day. As we approach summer, the amount of sunlight will gradually increase. Brighter days ahead! ☀️😎

Aisle, middle or sharing an arm rest with a walrus? 🤔 If you were on a packed flight with animals, where would you be sitting? 🦌🐧🦋🦝

It can sometimes feel like the busiest time of the year. Thankfully, the Winter Solstice arrives on Sunday, December 21—signifying the longest night and shortest day of the year. ❄ “Solstice” comes from Latin: “sol” (sun) + “stitium” (pause).
