i love every season of the year, but sometimes i miss summer right around this time. it's cold right now but not snowing. i miss flowers and bright blue skies with the freshness of a warm breeze.

but winter certainly has its own beauties. only in winter do we get to see Christmas lights and smell

fires as people try to warm themselves against the brutal cold. only in winter do you get to watch your breath puff out from you early in the morning, and you are greeted by everyone with a "happy holidays!" or "merry Christmas!" yes winter in itself is very lovely.
