How do you feel about cold weather?
I grew up in a change of seasons and cold weather meant my birthday, holidays, snowmen and ice skating.
After Labor Day the days began to get shorter and the nights much chillier. School started once again and I was not a big fan. Out came the warm woolens and away went the swimming suits. And the fireplace glowed with its first blaze of the season.
Thanksgiving arrived with the smells of turkey and stuffing and freshly baked apple pies. We watched the Macys Day Parade as we hungered for our holiday meal!
My birthday arrived with presents of new winter clothes or when I was very young a coveted doll or toy. I had lobster and steamers for my birthday meal year after year! Heavenly!
Christmas time and shopping for trees. Baking spritz and chocolate chip cookies as well as sugar and thumbprint with a kiss. Decorating the tree with all our fine ornaments, wrapping the presents, and placing them under the tree!
Now those are the fond memories of cold weather months. But from January to March, I would rather be in warmer climates. Away from dirty snow and cranky people, enjoying lighter clothing and a softer heart!
