And we don't get snow, I'm just a wimp!

I can handle a few days like we are having now, but I do not thrive when the temps stay in the 40s and below. It's kind of ironic that I love boots, jeans and the clothes that go with winter . ;-) <br /><br />As for all the socializing and events that come with the various holidays... I love the food and getting together with smaller groups of friends and family but I have never been on for big parties. And I am one of those women who can always find something I'd rather do than shop - like read a book. :-DGlendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15011542520602315103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-15158828160309486192014-11-12T23:16:16.239-05:002014-11-12T23:16:16.239-05:00I've finally come to the realization that I wo...I've finally come to the realization that I would never go outside if I lived in a cold climate. I really don't like being cold, and I'm just fine in warm weather, especially in the West. I'm living in Florida now, and I don't mind the heat, but I could do without the humidity. When it starts getting cold, I become very unhappy and start bundling up with layers, and we're not even talking "real" cold. My ideal winter holiday would be spending it with my family, wherever that might be. Last Thanksgiving I spent up in the So. California mountains, braving the cold but loving it because I was with my family. I don't like traveling at that time of year, but I left a bit early and came home a bit late, so I missed most of the craziness, just to make my sister happy. Of course it made me happy too. :DBarbara E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10042665559975481397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-19854176039027932682014-11-12T23:11:41.233-05:002014-11-12T23:11:41.233-05:00I live in New England by the ocean.

Shoveling out is a way of life as is traveling to work in 4wheel drive. <br />I love the holiday season and we celebrate with a small group of friends and family. We decorate the porch with lights and I inherited my parents candles for the windows. I like to see the candles as I drive down my street during the winter, it's a welcoming sight.Susan Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13267852619115809103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-24743435349304572962014-11-12T19:23:17.293-05:002014-11-12T19:23:17.293-05:00I don't like the cold, I find myself counting...I don't like the cold, I find myself counting down the days when winter is over.

I now limit myself to on one big party a year which is a tree trimming party. I enjoy it once I've done all the cleaning, shopping and cooking!! I do get stressed with gift buying because I never know what to buy anymore (it was so much easier when the children were young) but yet gift cards seem too impersonal and I'm really not a shopper and I always overspend lol. But that said, I'm really trying to go with the flow and enjoy what comes.catsladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375770995988927860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-38853143710364253992014-11-12T13:15:39.680-05:002014-11-12T13:15:39.680-05:00I endure winter and summer.

The family is used to shorts and tee shirts for Christmas, windows down while driving (thankfully, a respite from air conditioning!) in January. <br /><br />My favorite winter holiday is Mardi Gras, which generally falls in mid to late February. (In 2015, it will be on Feb. 17.) The weather in south Louisiana where I attend the celebration is generally cool enough for a jacket for the night parades, but sunny and mild during the day. Mardi Gras is definitely low-key preparation for the masses--a giant free party!<br />LSUReaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10551147044529756940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-5835453317735491162014-11-12T12:36:34.087-05:002014-11-12T12:36:34.087-05:00Hi, Grace.

Today it was 50 when I woke up at 4:30 to do bootcamp. 50 is cold here, and I was miserable. I can't wait until it's 75 again (probably 2 days from now). That's enough winter for me. I'd rather be hot than cold any day. I do like a Christmas romance, and I'll take my snow and frost fictional.Shanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06267793335415078380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-40949416699998525742014-11-12T10:41:35.006-05:002014-11-12T10:41:35.006-05:00Boy, I understand that introvert aspect.

Maybe I'm projecting my own seasonal cheer, but I do think the message of the holidays means something: Good will toward ALL, even in the mall parking lot--maybe especially there. Even in line at the post office. Even at the urgent care. I love that.

My fat cells are so happy that they can stop whining about fear of the heat rendering them out and making bacon drippin's. My favorite winter holiday is Christmas because we go to the beach for 2 weeks. I KNOW...crazy time to go to the beach but it's quiet and I get mega amounts of writing/editing done to the music of the gulls and the sounds of the ocean!

I just dissolve into a sluggish puddle on hot, humid days.
