It's cold and grey outside. I really hate being cold. Like really, really hate it. It makes getting out of bed harder. It makes leaving the house for work harder. It gets dark early at night so all I want to do is curl up on the couch and be warm and lazy. Today, since it's waaaaaaaay to early in the season to start having the winter blues (SAD), I'm focusing on the things that come with winter that I do enjoy.

Cute scarves, mittens, hats
Fires in fireplaces
Hot chocolate
Thanksgiving
Getting to see family
Christmas
Christmas decorations
Christmas programs
Driving tours to look at Christmas lights
Christmas Eve at my parents' house
Birthday cake (four family birthdays)
Boots with leggings
Presents (getting and giving)
Chili and soup
Turtlenecks
Movie nights
New Year's Eve parties
Dirty Santa with friends
Trips to IN
Peanut brittle
Quiet work days
Snow days (a girl can dream)

What am I missing? I know there is so much more. What do you look forward to most about the winter season?
