It's the time of year when I can commonly be heard saying, "Oh I'm so cold." I swear, sometimes when I'm not I still say it as I am so used to those words leaving my mouth. However, as much as I hate the coldness of the Winter time I love the season. I always say that I'd struggle being somewhere in the world where their Christmas time is hot as to me this Wintery time makes Christmas. So...what do I like about Winter?
Winter Wardrobe
Now I know this seems materialistic but I swear it's not. I just love the cosiness of my Winter clothes. I have found a new favourite coat...i have delved into the Faux Fur land and I love it. It's so cosy and warm, although everyone wants to stroke me now.
Snow
Yes, it make roads treacherous (my favourite winter word) and it melts to yukky slush. But, snow in it's first laid form is just so amazingly pretty. It makes places look so serene and calm that when I look at it I always get a sense of peace. However, tell me I have to drive somewhere in it and that peace well and truly vanishes. Oh and you can make snow men which, come on....who doesn't love?
Chocolate
I am an all year round chocolate fan but during Winter/Christmas time it becomes even more of a comfort food. I had my very first hot chocolate, marshmallow and cream hot chocolate in a Christmas cup from Costa the other day and it instantly cheered me up being in the Christmas cup. Then also, through December, there are the advent calenders- a little piece of chocolate to start the day? Why not!!
Being cosy
During Winter, it is socially acceptable to 'hibernate' and have duvet days on a weekend. Seriously, what is better than movies, duvet and central heating? I like to cocoon myself away from the world and snooze and movie watch.
My job
In teaching, things get tough....very tough and as you approach the final week of Winter term things get tough in the admin side however the teaching side becomes so nice. In the lead up to Christmas, there is so much happiness and fun things to do. It makes me feel extremely lucky to share in such an exciting time with my class.
I am sure there are many more things I have forgot but I'm cold so my mind is muddled!!
