Winter, Please come.

While most people have been enjoying this unusually warm winter, I have not. For one, it's like being cheated out of my favorite season (winter) and having to deal with more of my not so favorite season (spring).  I miss the snow, the ice, the cold. I love sleeping with coolness all around me and being all bundled up beneath layers of blankets, I rest so well. For two, because there has not been a hard freeze that has stayed, my allergies are going crazy, and so I've been sick this week.

But, because I like to look on the bright side, I won't just leave it at that, with my whining. I have enjoyed the lack of other people's whining about how cold it is, and how they hate winter. So that is the bonus in all of this, and for that I am thankful.

So maybe you are not convinced of how great winter is, well let me try to convince you with some things I love about winter (in no particular order).
1. It's so much easier to get warmer than it is to cool off.
2. Playing in the snow is so much fun.
3. The beauty of a snow covered field.
4. Less swelling of the joints.
5. Curling up with a hot cup of joe and a good movie or book under your favorite blanket.
6. Clothes are so much better for winter, and you don't have to see as much of other people's skin.
7. Hats and gloves, I really stocking hats.
8. It's always fun to see your breath when you walk outside.
9. There are some really great holidays during the winter.

So the only logical conclusion I can come up with is that I should probably move to Alaska. I don't think they are lacking in winter this year.

Noni Fun  Fact: I enjoy going to thefreedictionary.com and looking up words and making it speak them in the American and English accents.
