And hot chocolate with lots of marshmellows!!
Joanne saidā€¦
Great list, I'll add warm winter sweaters. I love this time of year :)
VR Barkowski saidā€¦
I'd like to add Linda's hot chocolate to #2, the warm fire. It's a lot chillier here in Atlanta than I expected. :)

I do love winter, though. Comes from a childhood of hellish half-year summers.
Summer Ross saidā€¦
Holidays and hot chocolate! Great list!

I think wind is too much lol, but I'm in Wyoming, we are ranging gusts up to 60mph in the last few weeks bringing in storms.
Laura Eno saidā€¦
And cold toes because I'm still wearing flip-flops instead of socks! I have two birthdays this month as well...hard to keep up with all of it. :)
Joanna St. James saidā€¦
have you tried hot chocolate laced with cinnamon?
I would like to add snow blowers and trucks to the list.
Have a lovely weekend Carol
Carol Kilgore saidā€¦
Linda - Oh yeah.

Joanne - Especially nice soft ones.

VR - That's the perfect spot :)

Summer - Yikes. That's really strong. And if it's blowing snow, that's a million times worse.

Laura - We have flip-flop winter days here, too, but not solid. Today's one, though.

Joanna - Yes! I love it. Now we have snow blowers and trucks. I'll need to make an amended list!

Golden Eagle - I love the holidays!
Elspeth Futcher saidā€¦
I'm not so fond of the icy roads and snow is pretty to look at as long as I don't have to go anywhere in it. Another great list, Carol!
Lydia Kang saidā€¦
I need a blanket to read this. And a cup of hot cocoa.
Love your lists!
Talei saidā€¦
Snow, skiing, snuggling in front of fires, and holidays - perfect! Where do I sign up? :)xx
Carol Kilgore saidā€¦
Elspeth - I agree with you!

Lydia - LOL...I'm barefoot and wearing a t-shirt and capris. But hot chocolate still sounds good :)

Talei - Let me know when you find the spot, OK? We'll sign up together!
