Dude winter kicks such a huge amount of ass. I live in ME and the winters here are FANTASTIC! Snowboarding, hot coco (yum), and the best part is comming in from the cold after a long day of ski-sleding to a good game of whatever the hell that xmas's big thing was that year. Mmm winter then leads into christmas the greatest holiday of them all. It's not just the presnets, but the whole feeling of th eholiday. Shopping, fires, new games i love it!
