It's December, it's going to be a short daylight no matter what. If you want it to stay light later in the afternoon, you'll just have to put up with it staying dark later in the morning. October is bad enough; I don't like it staying dark until nearly 8AM. I work in construction and 7AM has been the normal established start time since pretty much forever but it's tough to get much done (and done safely) when it is still pitch black at that hour.
