My Favorite Things About the Winter Season
There was a time when I dreaded the Winter season. It’s cold, dark, and feels years long! But, as I have gotten older, I have found more and more comfort in the season on rest! I wrote about romanticizing your life in Winter a few years ago and that’s a post that I return to whenever Winter comes around again! Since I have started leaning into the Winter season more I have identified several things that I love about it! If you’re looking for some inspiration to embrace this season so it doesn’t feel so bad, then read on for my favorite things about it!
My Favorite Things About the Winter Season
The coziness
This time of year my wardrobe is full of cozy sweaters, coats, scarves, and hats. We’ve got more blankets on the couch and our bed. The food is hearty and comforting. Everything just feels cozy and warm and I love it!
Leaning into rest
Every other season always feels quite busy and even early Winter during Christmas and New Year is busy. But, Winter is all about leaning into rest and I kind of love that about it! The garden is resting and everything seems to go at a slower pace!
Warm baths
I am a total bath girly but especially this time of year. I love to fill the tub with warm water and bubbles, light some candles, turn on a relaxing playlist, and grab my book. Sometimes I feel like I get more reading done in the bath than any other time!
Hearty food
I love comfort food and this time of year, comfort food is king! Our bodies need nourishment this time of year and hearty soups and stews hit the spot!
Festiveness
I love the festive feeling of Christmastime! After Christmas and New Year things may not feel as festive but to me, seeing frost on the grass and leaves in the morning feels festive. And snow feels festive if we are lucky enough to get it! I also like to keep some neutral-colored Christmas lights or fairy lights up which feel a little festive too!
The potential for snow
Snow can cause a lot of headaches and inconvenience but it still feels so magical when the snow starts to fall. I love it when I don’t have any place to be and can just take a snowy walk and marvel at how beautiful and quiet the snow makes everything! There is nothing better than the excitement I feel when there is a potential of snowfall!
Frosty, sunny morning walks
My morning walks are my favorite time of the day. I love them even more when it is frosty and sunny! The air is crisp and cold but the sun dazzles and with the frost everything seems to sparkle!
