“Christmas, Kwanza, whatever you call it — I fucking hate it.

But winter… that’s different.  I love winter.  Here’s why.

Because winter meant a new season’s maker codes, and it meant clean snow that you could eat straight out of the air and…

I mean, Christmas, that wasn’t a big deal.  I’d just get something else made out of lizards by Mom.

But WINTER.

Winter meant change.

The future is inherently a good thing.

And we move into it one winter at a time.

Things get better one winter at a time.

In die gleiche Kerbe:

  1. Winter is coming!
  2. Winter Wonderland
