Dunkelster Tag

Proposed. The Tuesday in January when the Christmas lights are down, the Gluhwein mug is washed and stored, the Adventskranz is pine needles on the table, and the next holiday is months away. The sky is gray at 8 AM and gray at 4 PM. This is the Tuesday that tests the German constitution. The Germans survive it with Filterkaffee, wool socks, and the quiet certainty that February will be worse. The Dunkelster Tag has no celebration. The Dunkelster Tag has endurance.
