I Think Winter Has Arrived

Time to catch up with things! Winter I believe has arrived. This past week was much more tolerable than the week before. Geez, about 10 maybe 12 days ago it turned super cold. Last weekend snow flurries were in the forecast. While sitting in front of the space heater, Cody I'm sure pondered hitchhiking to Florida.  Meanwhile I kept asking this rhetorical question...'We have to deal with super cold temps already, it's only mid-November?'

Thankfully we had a brief reprieve this past week. We enjoyed a few early morning temps in the 40s versus the 20s with a wind chill. Let me just say I've become accustom to the low 30s, that being said, the 20s with a wind chill and I wimp out!  Today it's colder with the bonus of rain. Take a wild guess as to whom in our household is the most disgruntled by today's forecast? The one whose name starts with a "C".

It shall be interesting to see what this winter brings. Our summer was rather mild. I was hoping for a mild winter too. One thing is for sure it's an early start to winter. November typically features brief bouts of cold temps just to prep us for winter but not like what we've experienced so far this November. Who knows maybe November and December got mixed up? Maybe December will arrive and bring back Autumn temps! That would be Cody's dream come true. ;) 

The best part, I think I'm already getting into the holiday spirit. Just days from Thanksgiving and I feel like I'm ready for Christmas to come! I'm ready to enjoy the traditions that Christmastime brings. First tradition we have here is popping in the movie Home Alone! I love that movie! We watch it every year. We do alternate it with Home Alone 2. I honestly wasn't a big fan of Home Alone 2 until about 3 years ago. After giving it another chance I'm now quite the fan of it too. I've actually never seen Home Alone 3, which means we don't own it, but I'm considering giving it a chance this year. Although I'm quite focused on the original Home Alone to start off this holiday season. Definitely one of my fave things during the holiday season is being curled up under a cozy blanket on the couch sipping hot cocoa while watching a good snowy film.
