Winter isn't coming; it's here. And I alternate between feeling excited for things like the holidays and cozy sweaters, and then absolutely dreading the subzero temperatures and short daylight hours. To help us better understand these contrasting feelings, let's turn it over to our favorites down in Bikini Bottom.

1. This is us when it snows for the first time

So pretty and exciting, right?

2. But here we are after the 4384545 snowstorm

After being snowed in a few times, the initial excitement about the snow begins to wear off.

3. Let's not forget about Christmas!!!

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!!!

4. But then we face the very real struggle of putting Christmas lights up

It takes real strength to put up lights without falling at least once.

5. This is us at the new year

We have all our resolutions ready to go and are ready to knock this new year out of the park. We're gonna eat healthy, exercise and stay on top of all our work!

6. But after day 2 or 3, we fall into our old ways

Krabby patties never tasted so good as when you're breaking your stupid resolutions.

7. By the time Valentines Day rolls around we either look like this

8. Or this

No matter if you love or hate winter, there will always be a Spongebob meme to make you feel understood. Stay warm and have a great holiday season!
