I do not like winter.  I can pretend that I do but deep down inside, I so not like the cold, icy winters we get in these part of the world.  Mind you, when all my people are safely inside, I do enjoy a big snow storm!  Nothing for me is better then looking ouside and not be able to see my neighbours' houses!!!  Not that nowaday, a snow storm will keep people tucked inside!  No, a lot of people have to prove that they can beat the weather!  And don't get me started on the drivers!!!  Owners of SUVs and 4 wheel drive do believe they have godlike skills when they are behing the wheels of those vehicules!  But when you are on ice, baby, you are on ice!!!

Give me the beach, any day of the week or time of year!  A Christmas without snow: my dream!!!
