One of my favourite parts of winter is that you can practically go out dressed up as fool, as long as you look cosy. Bobble hats, chunky scarfs, oversized coats, thick tights and boots. You basically look like you are about to burst in a bubble of wool.
Even though you know it's freezing outside, the excitement is in layering up with as many winter accessories that you can think of. My favourite at the minute seem to be earmuffs. Cute and logical, they just make sense.
Walking to a Christmas market in all your new winter gear just has some satisfaction that stands with me. You get ready with friends and then go out in minus temperatures but it doesn't matter because you are all wrapped up with a pork bap in hand or a glass of mulled wine. It's your choice with that one.
Colour isn't even an issue. A bright orange hat, pea green coat and bilberry tights will work but I would advice this in the months from October to January.
It's less than a month till Christmas now and the excitement hasn't worn off in the slightest but I think now I appreciate the smaller things aswell. The family time, time with loved ones, seeing a smile on someone's face when they like the present you get them. This is probably one of the best times of year.
