When it's winter here days are barely bright, there are a couple of days in December where the sun rises for about only an hour before setting. And in the summer there are a couple of days where the sun sets for also about an hour (and even then it doesn't go totally dark)
I wish it was summer all year ... But why is that?

Its because of the tilt of the earth on its axis. The northern hemisphere tilts away from the sun starting around march 21 and then towards it on September 23. This makes the earth not spin any different, so the day lasts for 6 months and then the night lasts 6 months. This leaves either the northern or the southern hemispher facing away from the sun, plunging either one into darkness. Antractica gets the worst of the darkness as it is at the bottom of the earths axis, hidden away from the sun.

Because the earths spins on its axis as it orbits the sun. In the winter, the northern half of the earth is tilted away from the sun, which means we get less light.
How ever, in the summer we are closer to the sun because the axis is tilted toward the sun so we get more light
Sorry it's not that scientific. Hope it helped

in other countries its dark in the morning in winter, so they put the time one hour forward for everybody. Therefore its darker. And in the summer they put it back again so it gets lighter once again.
Thats mainly about time.
But the proper reason is, in summer the suns rays are more concentrated but in Winter it's spread out.
Hope it helped :)

Ignore Clumsy...sorry. Sun ray concentration affects temperature not hours of daylight.
This webpage has a great animation that shows how it works.

After reading all the other answers, your solution is to move. I forgot to check where you asked this question, but irregardless, move towards the equator. You will still have night and day, but at least you will have warmth year round and the amount of darkness and night will not vary as greatly.
