Why Winter Is Awesome
- Snowmen
- Snow forts
- Stores smell like cinnamon. In the summer they smell like dusty air conditioning and B.O.
- Curling up in front of a fire place or a movie with a large glass of wine is somehow not the same in the summer.
- Irish Coffee and any other chocolaty hot-toddy type thing is only truly appreciated when there is two feet of snow on the ground.
- If you're into it - ski/snowboard/hockey season.
- The winter Olympics
- Walking through falling snow at night + quiet downtown street + two weeks til Christmas = Awesome.
- Christmas dinner.
- Christmas chocolate.
- Christmas craft sales.
- New Years is a way better excuse for a party than May 2-4.
- You don't have to rush home with frozen groceries
- If your freezer gets too full, just leave stuff in the porch or garage.
- Not needing to shave your legs all the freakin time.
- No one is going to notice your 'winter gut' under that fantastic new sweater you just bought with a Christmas gift card.
- No smog warnings, extreme skin cancer risks or asthma.
- The town dump doesn't smell so.. dumpy
- No bugs
I second the no shaving of the legs...the only thing I like about winter hehehehe!
ReplyDeleteyeah. def the no shaving legs thing. Except we've had Laura enrolled in swimming lessons all winter... what was I thinking?
ReplyDeleteSomething about Christmas shopping in the cold and slush is just so heart-warming (to me at least).
Also, the no bugs is AWESOME
as are many other things you listed.
Good job. :)
