The shortest day of the year is the Winter Solstice, which is generally December 21, but this date can fluctuate a day or two either way depending on the cycle of leap years. You didn't specify a year, so I used 2010; however, the sunrise/sunset times will be within a minute or two for the same date any year.

How much later or darker does it get each day?

Roughly, June 26th is the longest daylight time in a year. After that, each day will slowly grow shorter...If you watch the weather on the news and when they talk about sun rise and sun set each and every day, you'll start noticing sun rise will slowly gain minutes, while sun set will slowly lose minutes. And December 26 is rougly is the shortest daylight time in a year--then the cycle starts over--this time in the opposite way.
