Just in case you didn’t know it…
1. It is the coldest time of the year, and my most favourite,
2. People are a lot grumpier this month than in any other month, and this is characterized by the looks of murder people seem to give me when I am rejoicing loudly at how cold it is and how much I like it!
3. A time when people rarely wear pigtails (but what would I know about that?).
4. Snowdays are most likely to happen in this month, and they are lots of guilt-free fun!
5. Falling snowflakes are edible; the snow already on the ground isn’t!
6. There are three types of gloom people seem to experience: contagious (i.e. they catch it from others), constipated (i.e. too frustrated to let it out), and blatant sobbing (i.e. standing in one spot with your feet turned in, and crying out loud, yelling for mommy and for the snow to stop falling).
7. It is the time of year when people make the WORST possible choices in attire (i.e. wearing a tube top under a sweater and low rise jeans when it is -15C and it so obvious that you are freezing every which way, but are determined to be fashionable, even at the risk of hypothermia).
Paul, this entry shocked me. I remember many days at Hougton that we thought you were going to freeze to death. Glad to see you have grown accustomed to winters.
