1. What are your feelings about winter?
I covered a lot of this in the one about all the seasons. I used to feel like winter was just a necessary inconvenience to get through. Although I did like snow. Now I know a lot more people who actively like winter and dislike summer, I appreciate it a lot more.
2. What is your go-to drink in the winter? (alcoholic or non-alcoholic)
I mostly drink the same things all year round. Tea or coffee. Beer if I go out, sometimes wine with a meal. Water or squash if I'm feeling I need more hydration. Cocktails, fancy soft drinks, or fancy apple juice sometimes.
But if I feel like something to warm me up in winter, I've always been very fond of mulled wine, cider or apple juice.
3. What are your favorite things about the winter?
Snow. Christmas. Sunny but cold days. Cuddling up to keep warm. Roaring fires (if I'm ever anywhere there are some).
4. How do you deal with the wintry blues?
I don't really think of it like that. I don't usually *like* it being winter, but I don't think my overall mood is low. But I'm not sure I'd notice if it was. Anyone else know if I do that? But anyway, if I notice, that's half the battle, I can concentrate on doing indoor things for a while, which I quite like and know that now I'm 30+, six months passes really quickly.
Nowadays it seems like by the time the cold comes, the light is already returning so there's always something to look forward to.
5. What are your least favorite things about the winter?
Commuting in the dark. Getting up in the dark (very rarely, but if I ever need to). Commuting on slush. OK, it's not winter's fault and I hate capitalism :)
