Can I take (yet another) moment to appreciate the beauty that is winter? Because this time of year is just so magical, and frankly, so overlooked. Everyone is caught up in their “Can it be spring now?” frames of mind, and are too busy to really appreciate the loveliness that surrounds us. If we can take the time to stop and smell the roses, why not take a few spare moments to take in the wondrousness of snowflakes glistening in the afternoon sunlight?

I’d be fooling no one if I tried to deny winter was my favourite season. I’m a cold weather kind of girl. I love everything about it. One of the things I love most about Canada is that, despite pop culture belief, we experience four seasons. I don’t think I could ever live somewhere that didn’t have winter. It would be a travesty. But you know, the more I think about it, I think I could live somewhere that has perpetual winter. Call me crazy, but I think that sounds dandy. Kind of like this mix. Oh yeah, how’s that for a clever-boring-on-lame segue?
