Things I Love About Winter

    * Walking on a cold clear morning where the frost glistens on the grass and trees.

    * Warming up by the fire in the dark and watching the flickering patterns on the wall.

    * Hot bath, jammies, cocoa, and a good movie.

    * The dark evenings, just for that moment when you get back to your nice warm humble abode.

    * Making homemade soup and bread to have after a long walk on a freezing day.

    * I LOVE Christmas.

    * Long lie-ins on Saturday mornings, reading and listening to the radio.

    * Winter clothes are the best. Hats, gloves, scarves and boots, I love them all.

    * People are just nicer to each other in December.

    * Lying in bed listening to the wind and rain outside, all snug and cosy.

    :)

    I love being in bed and hearing the wind outside, ooh, and rain on the window.

    I also love the smell of air on a really cold morning - all crisp and fresh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,344 ✭✭✭✭starlit


    Cosy warm fire! Only nice thing about winter other than warm slippers and warm clothes and hot water bottle at the ready!

    I like leaving a big handful of seed in the backyard for the robins (or any other hungry bird that wants something to eat). :) I should probably buy a bird feeder really.

    I love winter.

    The excuse of "I can't come out, I'm all cosy by the fire" is universally accepted.

    That moment when you pull back the curtain to see snow. Everything is blinding white and calm.

    Hot Ribena is the best drink ever.

    Getting the use what I consider to be the most civilised piece of technology we have yet created - the electric blanket.

    I know it's been said a hundred times but..
    CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS!! The dark evenings when the Christmas lights have been turned on, the bright twinkling of them. They just make the place look like magic.
    Walking home from work and thinking 'ooh, another Christmas tree up, that wasn't there yesterday.' :)

    I love fires.

    I love all the lights on and sometimes mood lights.

    I love all the red clothes, my other half looks fab in red.

    I love christmas,christmas dinner and christmas television

    No matter how bad a year it is I always make a point of enjoying christmas.

    Less traffic and less people in places. Not feeling obliged to go outside when the weather is good. Less kids hanging around and shouting outside. Things are cheaper too.

    I love the summer but I don’t mind the winter either. For some strange reason I have always thought that girls looked really cute in scarf’s and winter hats for some reason, weird I know.

    Love taking the dogs for a walk through the snow, they are fascinated by it.

    And I love this song:



    Hate frozen/burst pipes I had last year though!

    I love complaining about how cold it is,
    until the summer arrives when I can start complaining about how hot it is.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,068 ✭✭✭StereoLove

    I love it when the air gets crisper. It feels nice and fresh and I imagine it is cleaning my lungs out. Especially when exhaling the condensation. I also like walking on the frosty crunchy grass with my boots and thick socks on, and the eerieness of the bare trees and low hanging sun in the mornings, when it hits the frost and makes everything sparkle.
