Brr! It's cold out there!!

If your town or city is anything like mine, the last couple of days have been pretty chilly.

Winter, it seems, has arrived with a cold, icy, snowy vengeance. If you have photos of snow – send them in!! We’d love to see them :-)

But despite the cold there are many reasons to rejoice that winter is here…

• You have a legitimate excuse to wear onesies. ALL DAY.
• You can finally use your ugg boots, hot water bottle and electric blanket at the same time!
• It snows which makes everything look pretty.
• You can throw things, namely snowballs, at people.
• The skifields will open which means you can snowboard, whoohoo!! Or ski, if that is your preference.
• Hot chocolate becomes the drink of choice which means you can drink marshmallows.
• Snow forts, snow men and ice sculptures are all worthy construction efforts.
• Snow days mean you don’t have to go to work or school.
• Fashion becomes less about how good you look and more about how warm you can stay.
• Your pets will want more cuddles because they want to steal your body warmth.
• If you have a fire, you can roast marshmallows.
• The other side of the world gets to have summer.
• The further through winter we get, the closer to summer we are.
• If you’re Jamaican, your bobsled team can practice!

So what are your favourite things about winter? How do you like to stay warm?
