Welcome Winter Giveaway Hop 2023

|

I am pleased to be taking part in this amazing hop brought to us by Review Wire Media and Chatty Patty’s Place. Winter is one of my favorite seasons of the year so this hop is certainly right up my alley. One thing that I have always loved is the snow. I feel like we just don’t get enough of it and wish we did. Hopefully this year we will get a little more.

Welcome Winter Giveaway Hop 2023 - Snow Angel

I remember the year we headed to North Carolina and Sugar Mountain so that we could ski and snow tube. It was one of the best weekends I had in a while. The funny thing was I was supposed to have gone home but ended up extending our vacation so that we could go when they had a big snowfall.

The funny thing is that while I loved every moment in the snow and with everyone, the best part of that day was when we had lunch. There is a little barbeque place there that is simply to die for. We were tired, cold, and starving. So, when we decided to stop, honestly we would have eaten anything. Yet, we spent an hour enjoying every bite and generally having a great day. Even if I had to ride all the way up there and back cramped in the backseat of the Jeep.

  6. I hate the cold! My cats hate the cold! Even my car hates it! I am seriously thinking about moving further south, and I live in Charleston, SC.

  12. My family enjoys winter in Florida! It’s when we spend the most time outside enjoying events & activities without sweating!

  17. Right now, I’m hating the winter storms! I do enjoy San Francisco Sketchfest and my birthday, though…

  21. I love the snow during the winter months and also the rain. I could not live in a place where there were no seasons.

  24. The best thing about Winter is that Spring is coming. Everyone and everything wakes up and every year it looks even more beautiful than the one before.

  31. I do NOT like cold weather – my arthritis makes it painful, and my furnace has been broken for 2 years. It’s over 2K to fix it, which I don’t have (and it’s old, so probably not worth it) and certainly don’t have the 4K+ I’d need for a new one

  32. I love the winter when we get a lot of big snowstorms and I hate it when we don’t get much snow at all during the season. I am not a fan of bright, sunny days and I do love the long nights of winter

  33. We enjoy going sledding and making a snowman when it snows. The one thing I hate is driving in it,

  35. I hate driving in winter and I don’t like the cold but I really enjoy cross country skiing!

  37. I love the weather that gives me an excuse to stay inside and read! LOL 🙂
    Love the short days too.

  44. We live in Kentucky so winters are about 40 degrees, not bad. I love the crisp weather. It makes me feel alive and gives me energy.

  45. I love to play in the snow with my grandbabies. They live in Georgia and don’t see snow often especially enough to build a snowman. When they come for Chirstmas, we love to spend time building a big snowman.

  49. I’ve never been a fan of cold or snow. But that truly sounds like it was a really fun day.

  52. I live in TX so I definitely enjoy that its not summer. Winter is the best summer here. I love cooler temps. I love snow but we rarely get it. I love snuggling up whle its snowing with a good book.

  54. I am not a big fan of winter where I live. We have an extra amount of overcast days each year but especially during the winter months, I think I could handle the snow and cold better if I at least saw the sun a little more.

  56. I actually enjoy the cooler temps, but then again I live in the South.. I LOVE the winter holidays, cozy sweaters, seasonal food and drink

  60. What I love most about winter is the reason to stay indoors and do some inside DIY crafts like sewing. Additionally, a reason to spend more time watching movies with my family, while being wrapped up on the sofa with blankets.

  65. As a summer baby, really not a fan of the winter. I don’t like cold, wet weather, shorter days.

  66. I love how peaceful everything is after the first snowfall! Not a fan of driving in it, though!

  82. I love winter. At night looking out at the dim streetlight as the snow gently falls passed the light. It feels magical and cozy.

  87. The only decent thing about winter is I get to open the bedroom window for fresh air & the cold lets me actually snuggle up under a toasty down comforter and wait for the thaw to bring back motorcycling season!

  91. I like the cold weather (no allergy flare ups) and the snow! The snow makes everything look so different and beautiful.

  103. I enjoy the winter holidays, but I don’t like the cold weather. I like doing a deep clean on my house in January and feeling like I get a fresh start to the new year.

  104. I just sleep so much better in Winter, don’t know why but I feel so much better in the morning.

  106. I love the beauty of winter, the way the river looks, hoar frost in the trees. It’s gorgeous

  108. I love the cooler weather, so I can bring out my blankets, sweaters, and comfy clothes!

  109. I have a love/hate thing about the winter. I love the peace to be found while it’s snowing. There is just something so quite and calming about a gently falling snow. However, I have RA, so wet and cold is an enemy as it brings a lot of pain.

  110. I like staying inside a warm house with my cute hubby, playing card/dice games, and just looking out at the picture perfect landscape and trees covered with snow! Thanks and God bless!

  114. I live in Michigan and I hate the winters because it’s dark and grey almost every day. We see the sun once every 3 to 4 weeks. It’s rough.

  115. I absolutely love the beauty of winter, like the big, white flakes of snow. However, I hate driving in that same snow! I also hate the freezing, cold weather.

  116. I am always cold no matter what I wear, blankets the works. So I could do without winter snow.
    It is pretty to see but that’s it. I also hate the ice that comes with it.

  118. Tell me what you enjoy (or hate) about the winter.

    pros
    almost no bugs
    cold is easier to combat
    the holidays
    snow

    cons
    my knees ate the cold
    the rain sucks when out and about!

  124. I love the snow. I think it’s beautiful. If it’s gonna be that cold, it better snow. Otherwise it’s not worth it.

  128. I do not like the cold, but I love snuggling up with a blanket and a good book on a cold, winter night 🙂

  132. I love spending more time together stuck indoors and I like cooking warm hearty meals in the winter.

  136. A big snow is beautiful but we get slush. Most days we get bitter cold, no snow. I hate the cold. I hate that I can’t live in a place that is between 70 and 90 degrees year round and only rains at night, ,lol. Is there any place on the planet like that? Please let me know if you find one!!!

  139. I hate the winter. Snow is pretty but it is a nuisance to get around in and plays havoc on the schedule. Plus, no matter how much you layer up it’s always too cold outside.

  140. I like the seasonal food and drinks, the clothes, and the rare chance of snow. I don’t like getting too cold.

  141. I love the fresh crisp air, hot chocolate, fresh coffee, and baking more but I hate being cold and that the heater dries out the inside air so much for this sinus sufferer. It’s very exciting when we get a chance for snow in SW Georgia but it has happened!

  142. I enjoy the cool weather, seasonal foods, and holiday lights and movies. Dislike the holiday shopping traffic.

    Thank you for the giveaway!

  143. I hate winter in northwest Florida. One day it is 75 degrees. Then the next 4 days the temperature does not get above 50 degrees during the day and 30 degrees at night. It is a constant yo yo temperature wise. Getting harder on me as I get older.

  146. Well, we were having a normal mild winter here in our neck of the woods in AZ, but are now in the middle of a two week period of overnight temps in the low 30’s…I don’t like frosty mornings !!!
