    Dancing Chocobo Winter is coming

    Ugh, I had forgotten what cold weather was like after enjoying the lazy Summer. I'm sure other British EoFFers feel the same. I don't know what the weather is like for the rest of you chaps around the globe, but it's getting colder here!

    So tell me some good things about winter. What do you enjoy about it? There's got to be something awesome about it!

    I like how I look in a smart coat and scarf. I like wrapping up warm.

    I like sitting inside and it's raining super hard against the window and I don't have to go outside in it.

    Winter is much better than summer, but we as brits will complain about anything anyway so who

    EVERYTHING. No plans and you're snowed in? Time to relax with a hot beverage and take in a movie. See one of your friends walking down the street equally bundled up to prevent frostbite? Let's hit them in the face with a snowball. Up early? Look outside and see how beautiful everything looks with a light dusting of snow.

    I MISS SUMMERTIME CHRISTMASES!

    I'm really having difficulty coming up with things I like about winter, so I will be checking back to see what people come up with. I don't think I can think of something I really like about winter that I don't also like in the summer.

    I live in Florida, so winter is pretty much the only temperate time of year. The only downsides are the smurfing tourists and the holiday season (the latter of which wouldn't be a problem if I didn't work retail. I'm hoping to get out by the time it comes around again).

    I am excited for a winter that isn't going to hit -30 with thick layers of ice, snow, ice, then snow.

    I love the fresh and crisp air in winter. It's relaxing.

    Winter is the absolute best season:

    -No pollen.
    -No bees.
    -No mosquitos.
    -No matter how cold it gets, you can always add a layer, as opposed to the limit to how many clothes you can take off when it's too hot.
    -Shabbat ends earlier.
    -Rain is awesome.
    -Snow is awesome.

    this is always my response when someone wonders how I can prefer cold weather to hot weather. especially since I grew up without air conditioning in my home.

    I love snow. I love wrapping up in a blanket on the couch and doing nothing all day.

    Scarves, sweaters, tights, hats, boots, pumpkin scented and spiced things, pumpkin pie, falling leaves, snow, watching snow fall, going out first thing in the morning after it has snowed and it's super silent and the snow itself is super loud, being the first person to walk through snow, cuddling to keep warm, playing freeze-out (and winning).

    I don't like the extreme weathers of Summer and Winter. However, I prefer the colder weather. Fall is the better season though.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.
