This is a interesting article over the history of various traditions all around the shortest day of the year, Dec 21st, the winter solstice. I don't know how much of what they say is true - but it was definitely interesting.
FYI - in case you were wondering we get just short of 9 hours of daylight (8 hrs and 59 mins) total in Rochester, NY. If you want to know how much sunlight you have - you can download my Yahoo "Sunrise Calculator Enhanced" widget here.
