I Love Winter

January 15, 2010 Posted by Vaire

When I say I love winter, most people look at me as if I'd suddenly sprouted two heads. I have tried to explain why I love winter, but I constantly get told I'm insane/weird/nuts/bizarre/etc. I still love winter, especially this winter, since it is what I call a "proper winter". None of this muck and slush you get with wimpy horrible wet winters. It is cold and snowy as it should be.

I love winter because it is breathtakingly beautiful.

Branches with berries and snow

I love winter because I don't have to hide from the sun when I go out.

I love winter because the snow muffles sounds.

I love winter because it snows and I adore snow.

I love winter because it is lighter outside than in the autumn.

I love winter because it is cold outside and warm inside.

I love winter because I can wear fun handmade wool accessories.

I love winter because I can knit fun warm woollies for others.

I love winter because the snow glitters like the whole world has been covered in faerie dust.

Snowy trees

I love winter because the snow makes crunching sounds when I walk on it.

I love winter because there is ice to skate on.

I love winter because the days are getting longer.

I love winter because I don't melt from heat when I go outside.

Snowy bushes

I love winter.
