Five things that I love about winter, winter holidays, and the like.
- I love how the air gets crisp and clean, almost devoid of pollution.
- I love how the aromas coming from grandmothers kitchen, take me back to when I was just a lad, and I couldn’t see over the granite counter tops.
- I love how the family comes together, regardless of our differences.
- I enjoy the hearty nourishment that I consume during the winter months, foods such as beef stew that just don’t taste right during the summer months.
- I love how the frigid winter air reminds me of just how frail we are. Watching deer push through the snow, just to find the remnants of what used to be grass, so they can survive another day. How rabbits struggle through the deep ridges of snow, trying to avoid getting shot by man or eaten by a foe.
Five things that I hate about winter, winter holidays, and the like.
- It’s freaking cold and my bones hurt.
- I have to put up with family for far too long.
- It rains or snows constantly.
- I have to go out in the dark and scrape the frost off of my vehicle. (That is, when I get another one.)
- The days are too short.
Skint, Susan, DBA, Minx, Phil, Brian, and Wayne it’s your turn now.

Jeff, I wondered what my name was doing on your post in Technorati and I actually shivered!
I’ll do it today or tomorrow for you.
This part: hearty nourishment – winter always made me plumper than I already was.
But I don’t hate it so must really think.
Thank you.
Thank you Susan. I look forward to your post.
Grandmother’s kitchens…something I fondly remember too, and sadly miss now. Anyhow, I shall give the meme or the tagging (or whatever it is called) some thought and will, as is my natural tendancy, turn mine into a short short story today.
Thanks a bunch Jefferson
working on it now
I’ve done it for you, Jeff.
2 entries today so just scroll down a little.
Thanks everyone.
I look forward to reading your entries. I should have used a milder word than hate. Hate is such a harsh word.
I have learned so much from each one of you, and I appreciate all of the comments.
