Christmas, when we rejoice over the birth of the Savior and look forward to his second coming, is very well-suited to winter. I escaped NY after living there for 28 years.

Been in Texas and a Florida for 35 years. I love winters here. The fall stars a new beginning for me over spring. The winter means hiking and birdwatching. Nesting season for raptors then seabirds. The gators are quieter. I feel free. I loved the NY winters when I was young and took advantage of hitting the slopes to ski and toboggan.

I miss that too. I live in the Phoenix Arizona Metropolitan Area. The High Temperature in December and January is from the 60s to the 70s. This means that I am able to enjoy cool weather during the Winter Months. I do not turn on any heat because I enjoy the nice cool temperatures in my Condo Unit. I have Seasonal Affective Disorder so I have to live where it is sunny and warm year around. Those wintry pictures up above remind me of a photo I took, of a wintry sunset with trees and an old silo One little glimpse of the past, it was, and then the sun would be setting behind an auto parts store I'm retired now, live in snow country upstate NY - we have a guy to snowplow the driveway, and I don't have to go slip-sliding around to work or anywhere else, I can stock up, stay inside, and pity those who do.

Hey, I put in my time! I do love the beauty of winter, and these pictures certainly show it. I love a cold snowy landscape with a bright blue sky and sun shining, and birds at the feeder against the brilliant sparkly white background. Winter is the time for me to slow down. After the ciaos of the busy year, then all the Holiday hustle and bustle, it's my time to rewind.

Read books. Enjoy myself for a change. I love Winter. Each season has it's own purpose. That's why I love Maine so much If I were a tree in the winter, I would not want to shed my leaves!!! For, they just might help to keep the chill off of me!!!! It would very much appeal to my sense of symmetry if the first day of the New Year was the day after the winter solstice.

That is the point at which everything starts over. I love winter. It is such a beautiful season. The peace, the dark, the quiet, is wonderful. It is a season of renewal and gestation. Since I am pagan, I feel a close connection to the earth, the seasons, the life cycles, and the purpose for the changes. It is a time to go within, for self exploration and retrospection. A time to review your life history and what is to come. I am not crazy about summer. Get the best experience and stay connected to your community with our Spectrum News app.
