How are you handling the winter blues?

You can get a firepit, Karla.  Campfires are the only thing that beats a fireplace!  Except one thing, being in a sunroom when it's raining with a fireplace.

I don't mind winter, just means snowboarding season is HERE!  Otherwise, it gives me a reason to buy logs and light up the fireplace, warm the house, get those good vibrations going.

i dislike the winter because it gets dark so quickly, your days over before its even started, it really gets me down, you try to keep yourself busy but i suffer from really bad depression and the winter months do not help. it is nice tho when all the lights are out for christmas.

Well,I like the winter here in the south its 85 one day and 28 the next so there is a constant fluctuation of temperature which for some reason helps me relax .But i guess that could be because most people stay inside and there is not as much traffic.As far is what i do; chop fire wood,play my guitar,read more,and im snacking alot more now?
