Winter is upon us. You know what this means…

slush
stressful driving
freezing your butt off
flu
static cling
boots
salt corrosion
taking half an hour to dress to go outside
taking half an hour to undress to come back in
freezing your butt off
overeating
slipping on ice and falling on ass
christmas shopping
that annoying crying Santa Claus ad by The Gazette
car failing to start
shovelling
dying of heat in crowded malls and buses
ice storms
power outages
freezing your butt off
non-existent parking
losing a pair of gloves a week

But then again…

snowboarding
skiing
hockey!!!
hot chocolate
the second lord of the rings movie
ice storms
new year’s eve party
watching someone slipping on ice and falling on ass
breaking giant icicles off roofs
glögg
ice storm nookies
that moment when you wrap the last present
parties I don’t have to organize
holiday cheer
hockey!!!
our gang’s boxing day party
the all-star hockey game
tobogganning
pigging out on stuffing
shopping for holiday stuff at ikea
cuddling in front of a warm fire
my birthday
skating in parc lafontaine
getting to buy a new pair of gloves every week
