Sunset
Sunset.org has the earliest sunset on Dec 5, I'd been following WVLT which had it in the following week. There are a couple of weeks when time of sunset is almost the same, we are just about to enter the time when it sets at least a minute later every day.
The latest sunrise won't be until Jan 6.
