10 Places I'd Rather Spent Winter

Not in order to escape the cold, but in order to embrace it.

10 Places I'd Rather Spent Winter
Kristin Vogt

Don't get me wrong, I love my hometown and enjoy spending winter and Christmas at my house. But sometimes I think it'd be cool to spend the season somewhere a little different.

1. Hogwarts

There's something "magical" about Hogwarts during wintertime...and I'm not just talking about the magic itself. Also, how sick would it be to have a roaring fireplace by your side at the wave of a wand?! Not to mention endless hot cocoa.

2. Stars Hollow

A small, cozy, tight-knit town with coffee at every corner? Count me the heck in.

3. New York's Upper East Side

Mainly because of the fashion. I mean, no one dresses for winter like Blair Waldorf and Serena Van der Woodsen.

4. Whoville

No one gets more crunk for Christmas than the Whos. They get DOWN, and I'd love to get down with them.

5. Christmas Town

Why wouldn't you want to be somewhere that celebrates Christmas every day? Yeah, it'd get old eventually, but it'd be the best Christmas season you've ever had.

6. Babysitting Kevin McCallister

There'd never be a dull moment with this dude.

7. A different country

I actually had the opportunity to spend a Christmas a few years back in London, and I feel like I didn't appreciate it as much as I should have at the time. It's sad being away from home, but it's worth it to see how other cultures and countries celebrate the season.



8. Arendelle

Okay, maybe not when it's totally frozen over and everyone's in danger. But it'd be sweet to give Olaf a warm hug and have a pet reindeer

9. Dunder Mifflin's Christmas party

Every little girl and boy dream of sitting on Michael Scott's lap, right?

and, of course...

10. The North Pole

As an elf, of course.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
