I much prefer the long Summer hours. I don't like that it gets dark so early! It seems like the darkness causes you to prepare and eat dinner earlier, and the evening seems to drag on. I would much rather be outside on the hot Summer evenings grilling, dining outdoors and staying up late. One thing about Winter, I do look forward to the soup and stew weather. 

I don't like the early darkness either and prefer the longer summer hours, too, when it stays light until 9:30 or so and being outside on a balmy/ hot evening or working in the gardens during the days.
