Hah, I’m always reminded of how I feel exactly the opposite living in Phoenix. I could have written this in early November when it was still 95 degrees out 😉

Sorry to day, but I LOVE winter. I remember taking the afternoon off from work to go skiing at a small (relatively) local place and it was -17°F! The guy at the bottom of the life was peering into each person’s face to see whether they might be getting frostbite – LOL!

Sounds like fun! I love winter and snow and actually am not a fan of spring. Since I live in Norway winter is November-March and we are often still skiing at Easter. Season passes for skiing are great for the reasons you describe- you can just go for a few hours and not feel like you have “wasted” hundreds of $$ in lift tickets.
I love your reminder to not wish time away. This is so relevant.
I love my wood-burning fireplace and my Christmas pine-scented candles. Makes things feel really cozy inside.

I’m not a fan of winter, but I’m doing what I can to make it tolerable. Going out of my way to find some new, fun music to play in the mornings, leaving twinkle lights up on the mantle, reading a good book in my favourite armchair with some cozy lighting on, wearing heated socks, and drinking Holiday Chai Tea.
I’d exchange it all for a dose of warm summer weather, but that’s not going to happen so I’m trying to make the most of it. Today was sledding and hot chocolate for the kids, last week was skating, the week before homemade ice wreaths.
Winter is going to come whether I like it or not, so might as well walk away with some fun memories. Though I could do with a bit less snow this year. Yeesh.
