My Favorite Season #septemberchallenge #blogtemberchallenge

A hot mug of coffee. A fuzzy blanket. A good book. You know what I am talking about! WINTER!

This is the time you pull out the boots and wrap yourself in warm sweaters. And oh, my favorite- Pashmina Shawls!

I still remember paying a visit to my husband who had to be away for work soon after our wedding. Hailing from the Southern parts of India, I hardly knew the difference between the magnificient Pashminas or others. But then I went shopping with him and few ladies from the Army family, just because I wasn’t prepared to face the Winters of North India. And boy, I loved it! It was also the first time I had gone ‘shopping’ with him. Of course, I didn’t want to buy the shawl and give him an impression of a life-time that I am high maintenance. 🙂 But, after much oohs and aahs from the ladies, he had to finally give in, and I got my first and only Pashmina- in a cool wine color!

Winters are quiet, thoughtful and calm. I know that it is the exact opposite of my personality. But I would any day prefer to stay at home, read a good book or at the most, hang out with only few close friends. I haven’t experienced snow fall yet in my life and when I do, it is going to be epic! I would make my first snowman and love the ice and cold.

Winters are also about the holidays. Though in India, we don’t have the so-called holiday spirit much, I love to create one of my own. I love the Christmas lights, the stars, the snowflakes, the jingles, the reindeer, the candyman, the decorated Christmas tree and baked goods.

If winter were a person, I would date the heck out of it.Winters are when I feel pretty and my hair is perfect. Pair yourself in a peacoat, mitten and  cherry lips! Selfies in the white background and watch those Insta hearts pile up.

I wish it was winter throughout. I took a fun quiz now just to know what my favorite season is. Needless to say, it was right! It said the following as well, “you may be more reserved and not necessarily wear your heart on your sleeve all the time. But those closest to you know exactly how you feel. Similarly, you may be friendly with many different people but consider only a select, exclusive group of friends your VIPs. Even if it’s in a quiet, measured way, you would do just about anything for your family — no questions asked!”

Just about right!
