- Sweaters & gloves back in style
- Football
- Freshly baked chocolate cookies (they taste better when it's cold outside)
- Possibility of snow
- Likelihood of snow not staying too long
- Christmas music! (My family kind of hates me already...)
- Did I say football?
- Warm apple cider
- Hot cocoa with tiny little marshmallows & whipped cream. And more whipped cream.
- The thick scent of piney wreaths and bayberry candles
- Performances of A Christmas Carol & The Nutcracker everywhere we go
- Bell-ringers who still smile & say "Merry Christmas"
- Seeing family during the holidays (I get all Clark Griswold at this time of year...)
