Is anyone else quite looking forward to winter? I am - I think life would be boring if the weather and light always stayed the same!

Of course, come November I'll be looking forward to summer again!!

Yeah, in a way im looking forward to winter - lovely warm cups of tea (with a cheeky shot of whisky in it, hehehe) e.t.c. but coz the days get shorter, it feels like there's so little time to get any work done, which stresses me out a bit (hence the whisky!)

Christmas!!!!

The best thing about winter is sherry!

But if I had it my way it would always be summer.
(You can drink sherry on ice then!)

Coming into summer here at the moment. Yay! Already had a 37 degree day last week. Show me the summer!!!!

I'm already looking forward to Christmas. But January and February aren't very nice months.

The best thing about Christmas is mulled wine

No it's mince pies and those sausages wrapped in bacon - I think they should come with every meal!

I hate Christmas. All that false jollity, sending cards to people you don't like, eating food that hardly anyone likes, sleeping on a cold uncomfortable floor in some relative's house for 2 weeks, watching crap TV - all because "Its Christmas!" Sod that. I'll celebrate when I feel like it, not when the calendar says you must.

There's only one thing to say to that..... BAH HUMBUG!!

Oh I quite like winter...curled up nsug on the sofa in a duvet, reading... mmmmm with hot chocolate.

Yeah, I thought about adding the "humbug" myself but I figured someone else would do it for me

I like winter, actually - just bloody Christmas I can't stand.

In Leicester we get 3 celebrations for the price of one: the lights went up last week for Diwali, then stay up via Eid and eventually through to Christmas.

Winter...Christmas...I wait till after my birthday (the end of November) before I even consider both!

Wickid, you are so right about mulled wine. We've already planned the lab 'mulled wine and mince pie' evening, yum!
