There is nothing better…

There is nothing better on disgustingly cold winter nights than a golden retriever on your feet and a cup of Earl Grey. Also, knowing there is a space heater in the bedroom that can make it 80 degrees in there helps.

I *hate* cold weather. The only reason I put up with it at all is because it can’t seem like Thanksgiving or Christmas without it. There are times when a blast of -17 degree windchill can clear your sinuses, but I’ve not had much luck with that so far this year.

I hate chapped lips, wet socks, cold feet, and that feeling that you can never quite get warm enough. I also really dislike that moment before you step out of bed in the morning knowing that the room is at least 15 degrees colder that it is under the sheets.

But I love Christmas. I love picking out a Christmas tree every year and how dogs react the first time it snows. I just don’t think I would feel the same holiday spirit without windchill and snow… thats why I don’t make for climates more suited to human habitation.

That’s all for now… its almost time to see if that space heater has warmed up the bedroom.
