Winter is my absolute favorite season. It’s cold and dark and such, but there’s so much more to winter than you think:

The holiday season spent with family or friends

The first snowfall that actually stays around

When it’s snowy at night, but it’s still lightish outside.

That quiet snowfall that makes you feel small

Jumping into a pile of snow

The crazy blizzard when you have nothing to do all day (except ski pow or have a movie marathon)

Going to bed at 5 pm is totally acceptable.

And watching the sunrise at 8 am.

Endless hot cocoa (and peppermint schnapps)

Bundling up on the couch with a soft blanket

Using a heating pad to warm your sheets before getting into bed

When it’s a cold sunny day and you feel the warmth of the sun on your face.

Soup for dayyyyyys

Holding a hot beverage in your hands

Not having to do yardwork

Getting a good workout with snow shoveling

When you get a face shot skiing and it’s so good you have to let out a “woop woop” and you almost choke on snow.

Being frozen shredding all day, then thawing out at home

Passing tf out on the way home from the hill

Realizing that the best season is always the season that you’re in right now.
