Winter is hands down my favorite time of the year. And no, not just because of Christmas or my birthday.
I believe there is something magical and wonderful about this season, like a mysterious aura that has engulfed all the people around.
I love the crackling fireplaces, the eggnog, the cookies, the cozy snuggles on the couch while reading a good book, hot chocolate, mulled wine, snow days, being good, and showing others you care.
Some, however, struggle to see this season as any source of magic. For a special group of people, winter is associated with the flu, wet feet, freezing weather, manic shopping sprees, and a whole mass euphoria that, I admit, can be a bit annoying sometimes.
But what if these associations don’t exclude each other? What if we can take everything that the season has to offer – good and bad, and still appreciate it?
If you feel like you are a Grinch about wintertime, maybe the following cozy winter quotes can help change your mind. And if you are an appreciative winter elf, I am sure these quotes will spark your excitement about the season even further. No matter which side of the “winter” argument you take, I hope you experience a lot of pleasant moments this winter season, surrounded by the ones you love.
Happy reading!
