An old chestnut at this time of year, when do the evenings start to get
lighter. I know it's before the winter solstice.

A the good old Equation of Time.
Perhaps this will be the year I finally understand it......

From what I recall, the date is considerably before the solstice
perhaps as early as the 12th and conversely the mornings get
darker until into the New Year.

But *please* don't as me to explain it
