Winter officially rolls in on December 21st, and I'm already feeling the change of seasons with the colder weather we've been having for the last week or so. I'm not a huge lover of the colder weather a lot of the time, but here are 5 things I love about this season.
Family & friend's time - I see my family more this time of year - especially over Christmas. I see my Mum a couple of times around the holidays, and I spend Christmas and Boxing Day with my Dad's family as usual. I also have a Christmas dinner out with my friend Nicola at some point during the month of December - it's our tradition and it's her night without the kids!
The weather - The weather is both the worst thing, but also something I like. I love it if it's snowy and frosty out... but only if I don't have to go out in it! Snow is rare in my area until the end of the season, and even then it is only a small flurry or two.
Sales - Boxing Day and January sales are my favourite thing. I can get a load of essentials along with updating some items around this time for a lower cost. I do most of my shopping online around this time due to the weather, but the online sales are always great to browse just after Christmas.
Less work - I have the privilege of being self-employed and get to pick and choose when I work. I always take a whole week off for Christmas, along with miscellaneous days through the season. I have a day or two off at the start of the year, and then a week sometime around the end of the season. I do not miss working in retail during the winter season!!!
The food - Snacks, chocolate boxes, cheeses - it's all superior around this time of year. I also splurge a little on gammon ham joints this season as they make a great dinner. I LOVE Christmas dinner at my aunt's house, and I like to indulge in a heap of unhealthy goodies this time of year.
What are your favourite things about winter? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)
