    I like to read and snuggle under blankets! We usually have at least 4-5 months of winter here, so you get used to it! :)

    I think the SoCal sun helps keep the blues away but I do like to try and go skiing in winter and that always makes me happy. :)

    Hi Megan. In addition to my battery operated candles, I make sure to dress warmly enough - especially when it's as frigid as it was last week. I definitely appreciate my thermal underwear!

    Winter can get a little depressing because of the weather (although we are spoiled in California :) ). I exercise (inside) or, if weather permits, I go for a walk.
