Winter

[4getmenot]

So they say winter gives you the blues, so lets try and make a list of all the good things winter brings or what we like about it. Lift the mood a bit.

Hot chocolate with brandy and marshmallows in front of a roaring fire.
Mulled red wine in front of a roaring fire.
Languid lovemaking on a sheepskin rug in front of a roaring fire (though it can make a mess of the rug, and don't get too close to the flames....)

I like the dark evenings and being able to snuggle up

[ummmm]

I actually like the cold. I like toddling to the shop in the morning still half asleep and coming back wide awake.

[4getmenot]

I love waking up in morning and smuggling up to my man to get warm

[redcrx]

[4getmenot]

[pericat]

[Bbbananas]

Big thick cashmere socks (well, 10% cashmere).
Not having to shave your legs daily.
Wearing a jumper in bed over your p.j.s.
Cuddling up in bed for a good book as soon as it gets dark.
Furry hot water bottle covers.

Days leading up to Xmas.
Noticing just a few minutes more light during Feb...Sprint a month or so away!
Crisp, Sunny, frosty days.
Office temperature more pleasant.

I use to hate winter when the kids were little. The hats, gloves, coats.

I still haven't put the heating on yet. I had a argument with Ginger about it. He wanted the heating on while sitting in just his boxers..!!!

[pericat]

got heating fixed a few weeks ago and have barely had it on since - it hasnt got that cold yet

[4getmenot]

I didnt put mine on till last week and now its got mild again I;m boiling in my flat. Have to have it on though as selling and dont want any people viewing thinking heating doesnt work.

I love winter, i have the opposite of winter seasonal disorder, I hate the heat!!

I love cold days and nights, I love log fires, I love hot warming dinners and I love big baggy jumpers which hide the fla, I love Christmas, i love snow although have only seen it once in 40 years here, I JUST LOVE ALL THINGS WINTER!!

I can remember the windows in our house were frozen up so badly that we heated coins in our hands and put them against the glass to thaw out a perfect spyhole to look through.Strange thing is cant remember being cold . anyone else remember doing this. Or were we poorer than everyone else?
