winter.

is my favorite time of the year. but not because its Christmas. or because i get presents. but:


because i love the prospect of warmth. in the winter time warmth has a different meaning. it means comfort, it means smiles, it means love, it means the best feeling that you can only get in snippets of the year but really mostly at this time. because you get to put on layers of clothing and feel all warm and cozy when that breezyness encompasses you. scarves keep your neck all snuggled, gloves keep your fingers toasty, socks carry a new meaning.

A friend once told me that "the human touch is a powerful thing" and pecked me on the forehead. it was so simple, but it stayed with me. hugs are much warmer in the winter time. and that being in someone's arm whether lover or not is the best place to be. not only do i get the lovydovyness that comes from someone's embrace but i get an instant heater too. then i love the idea of warm drinks feeling twenty times better because its cold out and your body just gets all happy and pappy. hot coca mmm. festive songs put me in a jolly mood, especially "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" i love the warm feeling because its like that first time your crush subtly says something sweet to you and looks at you and all you feel are those damn butterflies flying right up out of your heart into your stomach, into your words, into your laughter.

Just give me a nice big hug for Christmas. that's all i ask. and maybe a peck or two. :)
