Sometimes around this time of year, when winter seems to be dragging on and on, we just need to be reminded of all the beauty that surrounds us. I know for where I am, we’re unlikely to see hints of spring poking its nose through for another 6 or 7 weeks. So why not embrace all the loveliness that winter has to offer us? Perhaps I’m blinded by my love of the season (I’ve never been one of those people who counts down the days until sunshiney weather) but I can’t help but swoon over icicles hanging off the porch, or snowflakes getting caught in the window screens. In those moments before they’re disturbed by snowploughs and passing cars, they hold such a pristine and almost angelic beauty.

Hard to believe the day’s almost upon us! I swear, yesterday was October. It’s as if November and December ceased to exist amidst all the madness of university and holiday preparations. And I just wanted to wish you all and your loved ones a happy Christmas and holiday season! You guys are all so awesome, and I really hope you have a wonderful Christmas! ♥ Don’t eat too many holiday treats; save some for the big guy up north. ;)

It took every possible ounce of strength, self-control and restraint to wait until at least December to roll around before I posted this. And I really wanted to wait until the first official day of winter, but I can’t hold it in any more… It’s almost winter! Horray! I love winter. ♥ It’s one of my favourite seasons. There’s something so magical about it. And I have so happy memories from growing up that are associated with winter – building forts and having snow ball wars, tobogganing, leaving out ‘treats’ for the animals, drinking hot chocolate, bed time stories wrapped up in woolly blankets. Just thinking about it makes me feel all warm and squishie inside!
