jack frost

winter. it's always been my favorite. i love the snowmen and snow angels and snow forts. even the snowball fights. i love it. i love being snowed in. i love going ice skating. i love the excuse for a fire in the fireplace. i love hot cocoa. i love shoveling snow, it's true. most of all i love falling into a huge drift of snow and just staring at the sky or trees or whatever and breathing in the air. the clean air. it's perfect air, the snow filled air.

sure, i am freezing 90% of the time, sometimes my hands feel like they're going to fall off, my nose runs while my eyes burn, my teeth never stop chattering, i have to wear five times more clothes than normal, i can't drive anywhere because i'm either snowed in or the roads are dangerous, i fall on every patch of ice that crosses my path, and my dog has to wear sweaters so she doesn't die, but being around something i love so much is worth all the discomfort in the world.

i would rather freeze my buns off than not have winter at all.

thank you, lord, for winter. <3
