   Better than what the druids used to do during the solstice.

   Interestingly, the Shabbos start time still keeps getting later until June 29. The reason is that sunset is still getting later, even though sunrise is also now getting later. This is because of the way the Earth makes the turn around the sun to start heading into winter.

   Similarly, the earliest Shabbos was December 8, because even though the days were still getting shorter, the time of sunset had turned around and was getting later. It was just that the sunrise times were still getting later by slightly more.
