 Fall/Winter Comforts
I'm sure that all of us have things that comfort us, remind us of something or just make us feel good.  These things just give us a little pick me up when we are feeling down, they make us feel safe in an unsafe world, and they just make us warm on those long cold winter nights.  I have a few.  These are those certain things that no matter how chilled, cold or dark it may be outside make me appreciate the season!

1.  Snuggling with my hubby and watching TV.
2.  The smell of a candle burning, it doesn't really matter what scent, just to know it's there makes
      me feel good!
3.  Bubble Bath....I don't think I need to explain this one!
4.  Hot Chocolate-I just like to feel 8 again, where the world's problems were not known to me and all
     could be solved by hot chocolate and kisses!
5.  Hot Tea-ohhhh.....it just warms me.
6.  Kettle Corn-It just screams winter to me! Warm and cozy!
7.  The smell of wood burning-wow, this one just makes me feel good!
8.  The smell of fresh bread-reminds me of weekends at my grandpa's house, he was a baker
      for a bread company...he always smelled like that after work!
9.  Driving to look at X-mas lights-wow, just makes me feel like family....I love the togetherness and
     the excitement when my kids see a big display!
10. The smell of the first snow-really...there is nothing better!
11. Christmas CandyLane-U might not know what this is, if you do, it's my family tradition!
12. Pumpkin Pie-mmmm...I just love the smell, it screams fall!
13. Pumpkins-They remind me of when I was a kid and my Dad would try to grow pumpkins in our
      back yard, he never could, and to this day when he sees someone who has grown them in their
      yard he gets all red and frazzled!  It's really funny!
14.  Baking Christmas Cookies-Wow...this is just one thing I can't NOT do, I let the kids help, we make
       a mess and taste test everything! Then we pack them up for family and friends as gifts, and eat
       them for breakfast everyday until we are out!
15.  The smell of fall rain-It just smells different than summer rain, muskier, I love it!
16.  Grey Days spent cuddling as a family covered with blankets and watching movies cause there
       is nothing better to do!
17.  Seeing my Breath for the first time-LOVES IT!  I stand there and breath from my mouth for like 5
      minutes!
18.  Sweatshirts-I love bundling up, it feels good!
19.  Coats-I just love putting them on with the scarf and gloves, I just like the look!
20.  My babies faces when the first snow falls-Is there anything more precious!
21.  The first snow day-I still wake up excited for school to be cancelled, is that weird?
22.  Shoveling the first time-After that I hate it, but I remember going door to door and making money!
23.  Cutting my own Christmas tree-It just smells sooo good, and the kids love it!
24.  Cold Feet-I don't really like them but I like snugglin to my hubby in bed at night to get warm!
25.  Wrapping gifts-I love the smell of wrapping paper and tape, no bags for me!

I love these things.  They are who I am and what this time of year means to me.  I hope to see what some of you love about fall and winter! This is my last post tonight, good evening friends, I hope it treats you all well!

Hi! Thanks for visiting my blog. Glad you liked Shrek 2. I think 3 just came out on dvd.

That's quite a nice list you have. I don't like wrapping gifts though. I'm terrible at it. Nothing ever comes out even! Lol! I like buying and giving gifts though! Take care!
