And then just to be fair and nice, the reasons why I don't hate it. So feast your eyes on THIS:
Why I HATE winter with the white-hot intensity of tenthousand summer suns:
- I HATE having to give myself 10 extra minutes in the morning to let my car get warm enough that I can drive without turing into an ice cube, and scrape off the outside... it is SO annoying.
- Even though I grudgingly give myself those 10 extra minutes, my car still isn't warm enough to be comfortable.
- uh, hello... it's COLD!!!
- My tan fades, and I'm all pasty.
- My fingers and toes are cold for approximately 6 months straight wihout any hope of feeling warm in any way.
- There isn't much to do outside. And by "isn't much" I mean there is basically NOTHING to do.
- Winter naturally makes people more sad and despressed... which is not okay, because I am always so happy and optimistic! I don't need mother nature screwing with my attitude.
- EVERYTHING is more dangerous. Driving, walking, you name it. It's harder when it's below 40 degrees.
- No swimming. That's a given.
- No snow cones. Which are my FAVORITE.
- I get to wear winter clothes (pea coats, scarves, BOOTS!)
- Christmas. That's a given.
- Snow looks pretty.
- Skiing. Which is the only thing I will do outside. Besides ice skating.
- I can drink hot chocolate without being ridiculed. Because yes, I drink hot chocolate year round.
- We are that much closer to summer! haha
- Cold winter weather makes everyone more apt to cuddle :) and cuddling is great.
- It means we are half way through the school year.
- I love Christmas lights on houses and at temple square. They are so pretty.
Ok. So they are kind of equal. But I guess that just means that I can see the good in everything. Thank goodness, becuase if I couldn't I would probably have to go into hibernation for the next few months... which I'm actually not entirely opposed to! haha
