you are also wrong the sunsets actually start getting later on dec 15thhttp://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/astronomy.html?n=136&month=12&year=2012&obj=sun&afl=-11&day=1
According to the chart Dave is right - the whole day shortens to the shortest on the 21st/22nd because although the sunset starts later from the fifteenth, the sunrise is still getting later at a faster rate thus shortening the day.In noticeable terms though the daylight hours between the 15th to 30th December are only a few minutes different in length.
