Vampires struggling with Seasonal Affective Disorder on their shortest day of the year.

With exposure to moonlight limited to as little as three or four hours across large parts of the country, many #vampires have admitted to feeling extremely low, with mental health issues affecting as many as 50% of all vampires during the long summer days.

It is 21 December and the Winter Solstice. From this point onwards, the days get longer and we can be reassured that in a few months it will be spring again - isn’t that something to celebrate?

“The winter solstice, also called the hibernal solstice, occurs when either of Earth's poles reaches its maximum tilt away from the Sun. This happens twice yearly, once in each hemisphere (Northern and Southern). For that hemisphere, the winter solstice is the day with the shortest period of daylight and longest night of the year, and when the Sun is at its lowest daily maximum elevation in the sky.”

It happened at 09:21 hours today here in Scotland..
