Favorite Winter Things


Being cozy inside and drinking coffee while reading or watching movies
Thanksgiving and Christmas
Making, smelling, and eating lots of food
Bright, cheery lights and the smell of freshly cut Christmas trees
Being the first to walk in freshly fallen snow
Fuzzy socks and flannel pj’s
Wrapping presents and imagining someone’s face as the open them
Surprises and opening presents
Arranging all the Christmas cards in one spot so they can all be seen
Cute scarves and soft sweaters
Friends, family, and laughter
Sledding and being silly, then the feeling of warming up by fireplaces
Perfect snowflakes that land on the window or on your eyelashes
Baking and making the whole house smell good
Going ice skating
