Winter favorites

I'm not a huge winter fan, because I don't really like cold weather, but here are a few things I do like about the winter...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems like no matter what I always find money in my winter coat pocket. I'll need to remember that on a random day that I'm strapped for cash. It's like a reserve bank account in my winter jacket pocket.

I absolutely love the way kids look when they wear winter clothes. I don't know if it's the beanies, mittens or big puffy jackets, but I think they look adorable. I just wanna eat them up, but I don't think it's socially acceptable.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I love these cute winter boots people have been wearing lately. I even bought myself a pair.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I finally have a child old enough that the Santa thing is starting to work. I love that just by saying, "Santa's watching", it changes my 3 year olds behavior from naughty to nice...well sometimes.

I really like drinking hot chocolate on a cold night. I haven't always loved hot chocolate in the past, but this year some friends have introduced me to new ways of drinking it. Like with a Tim Tam or a cookies & cream Hersey bar melted in it, and of course marshmallows or cool whip (as if it didn't have enough calories before).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Christmas all together. I really love Christmas. Like I mentioned, I don't like the cold weather, but I think that's part of the reason Christmas is when it is. The Christmas season has a way of warming your heart and soul and I love that.

So, those are a few things I love about winter time. I hope everyone has fun getting ready for Christmas and enjoys their winter season.
