Peppermint lattes, peppermint mochas, hot chocolate with mini marshmallows, hot apple cider, spiked eggnog, infinity scarves, tights, boots boots and more boots, knit EVERYTHING, mittens, holidays, hot stews and soups, fuzzy socks, frosted grass, christmas lights everywhere, hershey's hugs, CANDYCANE ICE CREAM OH LORD IN HEAVEN, fires, the smell of pine everywhere, watching snow fall through streetlights, the excuse to use my holiday sprinkles, consistent grey skies, watching Charlie Brown and It's a Wonderful Life, seeing animal tracks in the snow, and beautiful, wonderful coats!
