Winter is the best time of year and if you think otherwise, I definitely have some reasons to help change your mind.

1. Cold Weather makes me happy.

It’s so much better to be cold than to be constantly dripping in sweat, and everyone will agree with that

2. You get to show off your amazing sweaters.

You can really wear any type of cute winter outfit and show it off to everyone. AND everyone has had to have at least one ugly Christmas sweater they’re always dying to wear during the season.

3. The nonstop shuffle of Christmas songs.

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year..” and no one can argue with that. I blast those songs like crazy and scream all the words.

4. Hot Chocolate all day, all season.

Hot chocolate for breakfast. Hot chocolate for lunch. Hot chocolate for dinner. I think it’s safe to say that I basically substitute hot chocolate for water.

5. Front yards are decorated with Snowmen.

Snow families are the cutest.

6. There are Christmas lights everywhere.

All the houses on each street make the outsides glow and sparkle, either with white lights or multicolored lights. Christmas would not be complete without a decorative wreath hanging on your front door.

7. Snow days are the best days.

Waking up and seeing the streets covered in snow, you automatically get that feeling where you know you can sit in bed all day long and not feel bad about it.

8. All the classic Christmas specials.

Home Alone, A Christmas Story, Charlie Brown’s Christmas, Elf, The Grinch, literally any Christmas movie is a great movie.

9. Bundling up to go anywhere outside your house.

Scarves, gloves, hats, jackets, boots. You name it.

10. Skiing and sledding is a must.

I have been skiing since I was about three years old and it has to be my favorite thing to do in the winter. And sledding with the neighborhood kids when I was younger was always the #1 thing we did to start our snow days.

11. Fires every night.

Warm fires every night with the families are always the way to end the nights.

12. Fancy Starbucks Cups.

There’s a certain thing about snowflakes that make them beautiful and that’s because each and every snowflake is unique and different than one another.

I could go on and on about why winter is my favorite season (not only because it's my birthday season). I've always loved the snow and cold weather, and I am at my happiest when it's winter time.
