Week #49: Things You Like About Winter.
This post comes as we’re preparing for some of the coldest weather since the beginning of the year. It was 70 degrees yesterday, and today it’s falling into the 40s! It’s possible that we will see some snow flurries on Friday night, too. That’s exciting to think about!
I’m grateful for simple things, like working heat at our house. Being cold-natured, I also love different blankets. A few years ago, a friend gave me a fleece blanket that’s red and green and Christmas-themed. It’s time to pull it out of the closet!
As much as I gripe about being cold, I enjoy seeing the snow on the trees and the ground. The cold weather also seems to make the sunrises and sunsets prettier.
We’re planning to put up our Christmas tree this week. I love listening to Christmas music while we work – Al used Spotify last year, and it was awesome! With recent car issues (All good now) and some stress at work, I’m in need of some holiday spirit.
I drink more hot chocolate in the winter. I also love making peppermint bark! Delicious!
Winter is colder, and it gets darker sooner, but I love feeling the warmth, celebrating the Christmas season, and ringing in the New Year!
Until the next headline, Laura Beth 🙂
Hot Shot Headlines 
I LOVE HOT CHOCOLATE! I swear, I never drink it until the holidays start…then I have a borderline addiction ha-ha! You’re almost done this challenge! How surreal is that!?
I can’t believe I’m almost done with the challenge. It’s crazy. I was typing Week 48 yesterday, and then thought, “Wow, that means only four weeks left. Only four weeks?! Wow!”
Surreal! Good for you though! Are you going to find another challenge?
Thank you! That’s a good idea – I’ll start looking. If you see anything that looks interesting, let me know!
