Winter Wonderland?


Things I hate about winter:
  • Dry, brittle, static-y hair
  • Exposing yourself to cold air and cold floors as soon as you get out of your warm bed
  • Snow
  • The flu (or any other virus for that matter)
  • De-icing my car
  • Messing up my shoes in the ice and slush
  • Goosebumps
  • Feeling sad/guilty about all the poor homeless animals (ok and people too)
  • Going to work and leaving work in darkness
  • Dry/cracked hands
  • Grayness, dampness, and COLD COLD COLD!!!

Things I like about winter:

  • The holidays—Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years… and all the fun food, decorations, music, parties, and new dresses that come with them
  • Snow
  • Cute jackets, scarves, and boots
  • Seeing my breath outside
  • Warm PJ bottoms
  • Not having to maintain my tan so rigorously
  • Snuggly blankets/beds/fireplaces
  • Pumpkin Spice Lattes!

But, Christmas and New Years are both squeezed into December, so most of the winter is holiday-free. I don’t even have a fireplace, and there is nothing worse than static-y hair, being sick, and being cold.

So, summer still wins. I hate winter!
