Oh winter, you cold, sometimes heartless fiend. Ha scratch that you're the best part of the year.

1. Holidays

Holiday season is the best because it means the coming together of friends and family-- and if you're the materialistic type yup presents are typically involved too.

2. Snow

If you live somewhere warm, let me just go ahead an apologize for you, but if you are lucky enough to live in a region where snow is an actual thing and the city doesn't shut down because of a few flakes (Yes Texas I am talking to you) then high freaking five.

3. Shredding the Gnar

No explanation needed.

4. Sweaters

Let's be real--any excuse to say my style of looking like as much of a homebody as I actually am gets an A+ in my book.

5. Leggings. Every day.

There is no such thing as too many pairs of leggings. Ordered 12 pairs at one time? Jealous because that's less often you'll have to do laundry

6. Food Food Food

Holiday dinners, peppermint lattes, trucks full of cookies, hot cocoa... oh wait now I'm hungry.

7. Winter Break

Having 1-2 months off of school just to start the new year? Uh yes please!
