Title: What are your favorite things about fall/winter?
Post by: Sara on November 05, 2006, 07:32:46 PM
The weather?  Getting presents?  Stuffing yourself with food?  What do you look forward to the most?

For me, I like that the weather is finally cooling off now (in Florida), I love family get-togethers, I love how Christmas inspires such a great mood (in me anyway), I love seeing streets filled with houses glowing with Christmas lights.   :)

The smell of the wood burners getting fired up along with the smell of autumn.

I love decorating my house for Christmas.  I have a ton of stuff and I just go crazy.  I actually got an artificial tree so that I could leave it up longer. 

I love all the food, but I have to be careful!

Fall is pretty time but I hate that winter follows
it.  dread winter.  sitting in front of a fire in the
fireplace is the good thing in winter.
hope it is a mild winter, really mild.
remember in 2004 we had a horrible Christmas ice storm. People were
without power for days.  wish I could live in Fl. for Jab-Feb-Mar.

I depend on winter storms to pay my bills. I hate the cold but for now I have to earn my keep by shoveling snow.

The only thing I don't like about winter is icy sidewalks.  Otherwise I love everything.  I like it getting dark early and all the lights on in the stores and the streets, even though it is early afternoon.
Please remember that I am from the Caribbean and we don't have winter here.   I have never experienced a really severe winter like a Canadian winter, but I have experienced winters in New York, France and England, and I just love it.  I remember when I was in France, being a bit regretful when Spring started up.  I liked seeing my breath as vapour!
I liked our ski weekends, and ice-skating, and the hot chocolate machines, and warm toasty clothing, and SNOW!!!
I liked living without perspiring!

I love watching the leaves falling and hiking in the leaves. Winter...yeesh. The perfect winter would be one solid day of snow when nobody had to travel anywhere (I'm a coward driving in the snow) and then it would all disapear so I could see the little crocus' popping out of the ground that much quicker.

Things I like about winter....
My niece is named Wynter.
Warm blankets.
My heater next to my desk and chair and bed.
Hot cocoa with whipped cream.
Coming in from the cold into a warm house.
Holiday music ( the rest of the family hates it, I like it!)

SPRING!!   >:D

I hear ya!  :beer1;

I love all the holiday stuff and have already put up my tree, but I stay cold ALL WINTER LONG!  My laundry also takes twice as long to do because I have to wear 2-3 pairs of socks, long johns, t-shirts under my tops, etc. 

Also, and I'm ashamed to admit this, I'm a smoker  :-[, but I never smoke in my house.  So, there I am outside shivering like an idiot (and I deserve it).
