A Few Of My Favorite Things About Winter

Hot chocolate
Snuggling
Cozy blankets
Candlelight
The quiet hush of a snowfall
Un-frizzy hair
Steaming showers
Casseroles
Nesting
Evergreens
Curling up with a good book or movie because it's too cold to go out
Chunky sweaters and tall boots
Scarves
Sparkly decorations

Hope you're all having a good start to the new year!

Thank you ladies!

Winter is probably my least favorite season, but I agree with you...there's something to enjoy in every season. You just have to find the good and hang on to it!

Ostara vs. Easter

Which do I celebrate?  I saw this type of question a lot around the Holidays last year.  Yule or Christmas, then of course there's the current holiday Ostara or Easter, and let's not leave out Samhain or Halloween.  You get the idea.
