December
by Aileen Fisher
I like days with a snow white collar,
And nights when the moon is a silver dollar,
And hills are filled with eiderdown stuffing
And your breath makes smoke
Like an engine puffing.
I like days when feathers are snowing,
And all the eaves have petticoats showing,
And the air is cold, and the wires are humming,
But you feel all warm...
With Christmas coming!
Truthfully, I struggle with the winter -- it's just so gray and cold! But I've learned to survive this dormant season by romanticizing about the snow. The poem and pretty images above seem to make the frigid temperatures worth enduring, don't you think?

i try really hard not to look at too many pictures of winter because it makes me want to go out and buy every single adorable winter item at j.crew. :)
ps. everyone always says they would HATE to have their birthday in december, but actually i quite like it because it gives me something to look forward to during the wintery months!
