Walking in a winter wonderland...

[gemfyre]

I love a bunch of the Christmas carols that are all about the snow and stuff. Winter Wonderland, Sleigh Ride, that song that talks about chestnuts and Jack Frost. It all sounds so lovely and cosy.

Yet in reality I can see if I had to endure a snowy Christmas (or snow at anytime) I'd be staying in bed with a heater on all day half freezing to death. I can't see myself going for a sleigh ride when there's ice all over the ground and feeling cosy. It's Summer here and I was pretty chilly last night in the wind tunnel that St. George's Terrace becomes.
