Winter is coming.

(Well, technically, Fall, and after that, Winter.)

It is time to store our summer clothes and get out ones more appropriate for colder weather. It is almost school time for some people too. Time when daylight lasts shorter and shorter, time to take our blankets and prepare for freezing cold days. Prepare for lots of snow, slippery roads and wet streets from when snow starts to melt.

Yeah, I bet you figured I hate winter. Seriously, what's to like there? For that reason, I decided to list some reasons of why winter is actually good. Not just to comfort and inspire you, but myself as well. Here it goes.

(P.S. For those lucky you that live on Southern hemisphere and are expecting spring soon - I envy you.)

- This time of a year, many TV shows come back from their summer hiatus. So I am looking forward to watching new episodes of my favorite shows.

- The days are darker, which means there isn't much light to bother you while watching your favorite movie or show.

- That amazing feeling when you wrap yourself in blanket and read your favorite book.

- That amazing feeling when you wake up at weekend and see the snow falling and everything turning white.

- No more annoying insects, such as flies and mosquitoes.  

- Winter holidays. Decorating the Christmas tree, buying present for friends and family, spending time together.

- New Year. Time for looking back at the previous year, good moments we had, bad ones so we can learn from them, making New Year resolutions and plans.

Wow, now I have even convinced myself winter doesn't have to be that bad. But I sill prefer summer.
