Winter Wonderland
I do love winter. Once Halloween is over, I’m ready for snow and lots of it. By November the trees have lost all their leaves and there are far fewer sunny days. The snow brightens everything up and dresses the trees up in their winter finery. While I love all the greenery in the summer, I love a winter view even more. It’s stunningly beautiful.
There’s also a hush that comes with a snowstorm, as if the snow itself is blanketing the world, not just with a blanket that you can see, but one that dulls all the other outside sounds. You can walk out in a snowstorm and all the falling snow makes no sound as it falls and hits the ground. It’s just quiet. When you go walking in freshly fallen snow, and you can hear the crunch of the white stuff under your boots, but while it’s falling, there’s nothing. It’s like magic.
It’s not just the snow, though, I also love the colder weather. I love coming in from the cold and taking off the layers, slowly warming up from the cold. Hot chocolate doesn’t taste nearly as good any other time of the year. It’s best enjoyed on a cold day – the colder it is the better the hot chocolate tastes. Even holding the hot mug feels good. There is more sun in the winter than in fall, the days often bright and sharp, the sky never so blue as it is on a deeply cold day.
I kind of hibernate in the summer. The hot days play with my mind and I don’t get nearly as much done as I do in the winter. The snow comes and with it my creativity awakens again for the season. I usually get far more done in winter than I do in summer.
Finally, there’s Christmas and the New Year. Christmas is one of my favorite holidays – with the coloured lights and all the decorations. Buying and wrapping gifts, making cookies and cooking for family. I even love the feeling on Christmas Day once all the eating and gifting is over, that sense of relaxation and ease now that everything is done.
As for the new year – I totally appreciate being able to reset, to wipe the slate clean and start over again. That feeling usually doesn’t last very long, but that’s okay, because where I live, there’s still at least three more months of winter to revel in.
So give me my winter wonderland and I am happy down to the bone.

Your description of winter made me smile. I have to agree that it is pretty wonderful to walk outside during a snowstorm. The entire world does feel much quieter and more peaceful than normal then.
Sounds like a good book
I’ve never experienced that kind of weather, and I definitely don’t feel a lack, lol. I will enjoy the PICTURES of snow and let you folks who revel in it have a good time. Happy holidays! The story sounds lovely, thanks for the opportunity to win a copy.
cute cover
I love the cooler time of the year, but I am not so fond of extreme snowy conditions especially of you have to get to work or try to get home. Although it is a pretty good time of the year to wrap up inside, put your feet up near an wood fire, roast some chestnuts perhaps and read a book, with a warm drink as well.
