My favorite winter memory would have to be sledding with my brothers when I was a kid. We had a lot of fun doing that
Winter is not my favorite season, just a little too cold for me (and I live in California!), but my favorite memory is taking my daughter to the Christmas Tree Farm to pick out a tree when she was just a small child. The crisp cold air, the smell of the trees & hot cider -- it was great!
A huge snow storm we had that quieted the whole town. My husband and I went walking down the middle of the street late at night just watching the huge snowflakes fall. It was beautiful.
When I was growing up we had a huge backyard that sloped down perfect for sledding. We had every kid in the neighborhood over. We had a blizzard one year, the snow was so high we could jump off the back porch and land in a pile of snow three to four feet deep. The best part was coming in from the cold to get hot chocolate. I think that was my favorite part.
My favorite winter memory is of our first night after moving to Virginia. It started snowing. We had been living in South Texas and hadn't seen snow. Playing in the snow was so much fun.
TABANGONING with the family at the forest preserves....snowdays where you couldn't open your door and no one cared to go out for days
My favorite winter memory is the blizzard of 78. We lived on the 2nd floor of an apartment building and the snow drifts had gotten so high that the snow was just below our balcony. My Sister, Brother and I spent the afternoon jumping off the balcony into the snow piles. We were cold, soaked and having the best time of our life.
My favorite winter memory is of baking cookies on snowy days with my grandma. Thanks so much for this giveaway.
My favorite winter memory is cuddling with Zach under a blanket near a heater vent, sharing little bites of warm Finnish coffee cake. Zach was my golden retriever :-)

watching my niece and nephew sled down the driveway on 1/2" freshly fallen snow in NC !
My favorite winter memory was growing up in Ga.
We hardly ever had snow so even a dusting was a big deal.
We would grab anything that looked like it would slide and use it for a "sled"
Oh-and making snow ice cream too!
It's a wonder we never got sick from eating it.

I grew up in Canada and we had the most amazing winters. I loved sledding down all the hills and having snow ball fights with kids in the neighborhood.
snow angels...that's it!
Skating on the pond in our backyard.

I remember being pulled around on a sled by my big brother in a snow storm bundled up so tight I had to lie flat on the sled and look up at the snow falling. I was three!
my favorite winter memory is lighting the fire wood,and smelling the wood burn.
sitting in front of the fireplace drinking hot chocolate with my sisters
I remember once we had to drive for quite a while and then we got somewhere and there was snow! We got out of the car and got to play in it. It was the first time we ever saw snow.
Every year, my husband, kids, and I head to the woods to chop down a Christmas tree. I retain the right to final approval, so, they each compete to be the superstar that uncovers the perfect tree. My favorite winter memories are of hearing my family shout "I found it!"
We lived on a street that was on a slight incline; the boys on the street were a few years older than I was. They loved to race their sleds on the street - I was too young to join in the fun. Bless their hearts, they named me the snow queen and carved a throne for me out of the snow bank near the street. There I sat, queen of the day, watching the boys race for hours and feeling part of the fun.
Sledding with my dad!
My favorite Winter Memory...building snowmen with all the neighborhood kids.
My favorite winter memory is playing in the snow when I was a kid, I loved making snow angels in the snow and of course sleigh riding!
I live in a area which gets little snow so my favorite memory was going sledding in a big snow.
Thanks!

Riding the three wheeler on the frozen pond.
I took one of my sons to NJ and he saw snow for the first time. We live in FL so my kids don't get to enjoy how beautiful winter can be!
Originally being from Michigan, as a child my favorite memory of winter was being out in the snow with my mom pulling me on a sled. Now living in the South, we rarely ever get snow, but I always think back to that time....
I really detest winter, but when I was little, I remember going to the nearby pond, to ice skate with my father.
I grew up in Florida so we didn't get much snow. I remember the first year that it flurried and a little snow stuck to the ground. It was magical to me to stand in the snow and experience it for the first time.
My favorite winter memory is sledding on Mt. Hood and being so cold-then warming up with cocoa in front of a roaring fire at the beautiful Timberline Lodge in Oregon!
I would LOVE to win one of these! My fav. Winter memory would have to be Christmas. I can't really choose one, except the ones where my Dad was still alive. ;) There's nothing better than spending time with the ones we love!!!
My favorite winter memory is of my husband and I taking our son sledding and watching how excited he was going down the hill with our dog following him and then watching as our dog pulled him back up the hill to get ready for another slide. Thank you for the contest and reminding me of these special memories.
My favorite and most cherished winter memory was a few years ago when my family traveled to Colorado during Christmas break. Aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents, all hit the slopes to make some awesome winter memories. That was the last time our whole family was together, and I value the memories made on that trip.
I love watching our city's little Christmas parade every winter. It's not very impressive but I love to see it. Thanks for the contest!
The year that I gave birth to my daughter. We had to drive there during a snowstorm.
My favorite winter memory is when I was a little girl. We had a huge snowstorm and my brother built an igloo out of the snow.We played inside it for hours pretending we were in Alaska.
My favorite winter memories were of childhood in Minnesota, when our yard would fill with drifts that we could jump in, make forts, and even sled down sometimes. Now that I am grown, winter isn't so magical!

Drinking hot chcolate in front of the fire.
When I was younger my parents took my sister and I outside and spent the day enjoying the snow instead of cursing it. We built a giant snowman (or at least it seemed giant at six years old) and then we built two snow forts and spent the afternoon pelting each other with snowballs.

My favorite memory is going intertubing on the mountains when it snowed as a child!
My fave is building snowmen with the kids
My favorite is TREE TRIMMING and I don't mean grabbing the tools and physically trimming the tree, I mean getting the fam fam together and hauling the decorations out and talking about all the ornaments as we place them all the tree.
My favorite one... the gingerbread man I tried to take a bite out of, that I made in kindergarten class! heehe!

We rarely get snow here in my little corner of Canada, but in 1996 we had a HUGE blizzard. No cars or buses could run, no businesses could open etc. But my three kids who were all small at the time had the time of their life! They were jumping off of the brick wall outside of our house into 4 feet of snow and the laughter and joy coming from them made us all so happy!
My husband who worked in an old age home, walked miles in to get to work as nobody was there to take care of the patients!
Thanks

Clearly remember walking with my whole family to midnight mass in the stark black darkness with huge white snowflakes softly floating down all around us. Then coming home afterwards to find that Santa had magically arrived while we were gone!
I grew up close to an ice skating rink and every winter my favorite thing was to have supper early and go to the rink while everyone else was home eating and I had the whole rink to myself.
My favorite winter memory is from winter 2005, when I climbed St. Joseph's glacier in New Zealand! Awesome, and cold!

my favorite memory was when my husband surprised me with a romantic weekend away at stow vermont (without the kids).
we cut our own christmas tree and took a midnight sleigh ride in the mountains with snow falling.
One of my favorite winter memories is when my husband, daughter and I went sledding at the park one March break. We were excited to try out our new blow up tube. When we got to the hill we all climbed on for the first run down the hill. Well, we made it halfway before we heard a pop! It was so funny! Luckily it did not ruin the day. We had brought more sleds with us thankfully! But we will always think of that day when we go there sledding.
My favorite winter memory was skating on the frozen pond while growing up in New England
Just sled riding at night was always fun as achild with my family.
When I ws 11 and my father took me out to play in the snow. It was the only time i remember
I remember digging out my husbands snow bound car (3 hrs 0f hard work) all the way down the street to our driveway, laughing so hard with my daughter and enjoying every moment.
My favorite winter memory is now my daughters first time really playing in the snow. The past few years she didnt really care, being little and all, but last winter when she was 3 she had a BLAST!!!
I can't say favourite, but an unforgettable memory: I got out of school on the way home (about 2 hours way in normal weather), I was stuck on the way by bus in the middle of thick snow, and a few hous later I had to get out of the bus because it couldn't move any longer. Anyway I was at street then for hours nearly freezing and fainting. Fortunately my mother managed to come and save me at the end. So, I was able to go home after 9 hours!!

A neighborhood snow ball fight was amazing, followed by hot chocolate afterwards.
My favorite memory and best
memory took place in the Northern
area of Quebec. Winters are
cold with a lot of snow. I
went cross country skiing at night
time using a flashlight on my
French Tuque. WOW!!! The snow
was crisp, which made the skiis
go faster and what a challenge that night was!!!
Okay, parents would be arrested for this today. But my favorite winter memory is the first snow. My father would tie an old car hood to the back of his truck and drive around the neighborhood picking up all the kids. We'd all sit on the hood while he towed us for a nice ride around town.

My favorite winter memory is drinking hot chocolate after a day of sledding with my two daughters.
1969, I had recently moved to Colorado and needed a job. I went to the Coors Company in Golden, and got hired. When I walked into the company it was a nice mild winter day before the snow started falling. When I left to go home with my happy news, the parking lot was a foot deep with soft fresh snow and huge snowflakes landing all over me. It was the beginning of a wonderful part of my life.
Walking in crunchy freshly fallens snow
We grew up on a farm in Vermont.My favorite memories are of my brothers and I sliding the whole length of the meadow we stayed out there for hours.We also would make snowmen and snow forts...every kid should have the fun we did.Hmmm hot chocolate and Mom's homemade cake sure tasted good after.
sledding hooked onto the back of our four wheelers after it snowed! sooooo much fun

Travelling to a ski resort in Colorado with my best friend. I remember it was just a sort of magical time to be alive. I felt so alive, young and cool and I had a really good friend to share it with. I look back often on that time, it always makes me feel warm and cozy. (even though it was really cold!) sehbastian421@yahoo.com
cold days filled with christmas shopping then warm cookies and milk that night when you get home under a blanket before bed

A few years ago when my kids were small, it snowed a LOT on Christmas Eve. That doesn't happen here very often, and it was magical. :-) Thanks!
Last Christmas, my husband lost his job, so we made a last-minute trip to my parents to save on food and other expenses. We all had a wonderful time, and it snowed on Christmas!
my favorite winter memory is last winter when I saw all the snow we got.It was my first winter in a cold state for over 10 years it was pretty!
Being snowed in as a child, it was the worst storm in history, snow was measured in feet not inches! All the moms in the apartment complex where we lived allowed us all outside (supervised of course) we built tons of snowmen and snowwomen, had snowball fights, sled rides down the hill, we all got back inside that evening, cold and wet, but so very happy. Me and my friends from childhood still remember that wonderful day!
I love winter! I guess my favorite was getting snowed in - in a cabin on a lake for a week :)
My favorite winter memmory is sitting around a card table with my siblings and my Aunt teaching us how to make Christmas bows. We had all kinds of colored ribbons. After we made our bows we put glue on them and then went to town with the gold and sliver glitter bottle to make them shine. Then we let them dry so we could attach them to our wrapped presents in funny papers she had saved all year from the Sunday newspapers for us. Those were the days!!
My favorite winter memory is when I was young making snowmen in the snow and coming inside to drink hot chocolate with little marshmallows.
My parents used to live in a house that had a huge picture window in the living room. I remember one Christmas morning when it began to show just after we had opened out Christmas gifts -- it was so beautiful.
We used to make sleds out of old cardboard boxes! Thanks!
My favorite winter memory is of my father building me a snow castle. We brought my little table and chair out there, colored out of the coloring book and hung it on my castle walls :)
My sister would love this. Please accept my entry. Thank you.
My favorite memory would be all of us getting together and sliding. That was so much fun and great exercise!

My favorite winter memory is the first time I saw snow. My parents took us to the mountains and it was absolutely amazing!
Spending snow days with my kids and making angels in the snow, building snow men and snow forts, and sledding.
I grew up in the mid-west and it got really cold and we had lots of snow. There would often be high drifts to the house roof. My favorite memories are being able to stay home. Because snow was not unusual we often went but on those days we got to stay home, it was wonderful! I and my neighborhood friends would build a snowman and throw snowballs.
I live in the Deep South, and snow is a rare and momentous event. When I was a kid, my parents bundled up my brother and me, and we went out in the snowy yard to explore. I think it is my earliest memory of snow. Anyway, my Dad tried to "ski" on a piece of plywood, and fell spectacularly, although he was not hurt. My brother and I thought it was the funniest thing and kept saying "do it again Daddy!" We still laugh about that day now.
An impromptu snowball fight with my dad when I was 8 or 9, it's one of the few memories I have of him that's crystal clear
Walking in the woods in the snow at night under a full moon with my parents when I was about 5 years old
The dads would shovel off the fallen snow down at the river in our backyards. All the kids and adults would skate and then afterwards we'd have hot chocolate.
My favorite winter is making snow angels when I was a kid!
Hands down, my favorite winter memory is my family on our 6-man tobagan at my Dad's farm. I can still see my grandmother (all 4 feet 10 inches of her) holding on for dear life!
sledding with my uncle
My favorite winter memory was sledding with my brothers down our big back yard hill onto the frozen lake
My favorite memories are sledding with my friends and skiing with my brother and dad. I used to love being outside in the snow.
Building snowmen with my daughter - we don't get a lot of snow so when we do, we take advantage of it!
We built a giant igloo that you could actually crawl thru and Mom freaked out worrying that it'd collapse with us in it.
My favorite winter memory were snow days from school. It was always so much fun to play in the snow all day. Thanks for the giveaway.
I could use this right now, freezing!
My favorite memory is all the snow we used to get in Michigan. We could have great snowball fights, build forts & snowmen. The snow doesn't seem as good anymore, LOL.
My favorite winter memory was when my sisters and I were kids, we were sledding on this very large hill in our neighborhood. We met some neighbor kids that we hadn't met before and spent the afternoon sledding together. It was so much fun. We capped the afternoon with hot chocolate back at our house.
I love that sherpa pullover in charcoal.
A snowball fight in our front yard after a fancy dinner in our fancy clothes.

Snow plows near my house always left a really high pile of snow for us to play on.
I would LOVE to win one of these!
My favorite winter memory is the winter bonfire my neighborhood would have. All of us kids would get stockings filled with goodies, apple dcider, ornaments and then Santa would come to the Bonfire and we would all get to sit on his lap! Oh, those were the days!
Making snow angels!
Going sledding as a kid! I'm too scared I'm going to break something these days but boy, that used to be fun!

I love playing in the snow with my kids. This year we have a new puppy, he is siberian husky and I can not wait to play with him in the snow with the kids.
My favorite winter memory that I love is when I used to make snowmen with my children.

I grew up in texas so i never really experienced "winter" but in my early twenties, I moved to washington, dc. I vividly remember my first snowfall, the icicles hanging on the bare trees, the crunchy noise of walking on snow, and how everything seemed to glisten.
My favorite winter memory comes from my childhood. My father used to freeze our backyard with the hose to make a skating rink for my brother and I. When all the neighborhood kids were tucked inside their homes doing homework on a school night, my parents took us skating in the back yard. We always ended the night with a large mug of hot chocolate and all the marshmellows that mug could hold.
Mine is a few years back, the first time I got to play in the snow. Dh and I had just married and we went to visit his parents in MN. We made snowmen and he showed me how to make a perfect snowball. Then we went inside and his Mom fed us soup and grilled cheese sandwiches.
I enjoy when we are cooped up at home for a day or two. We go for walks in the snow and review the roads. I think my absolute favorite was when we tried to pull the sled with the lawnmower (did not work and alcohol was not involved)
Winter is my favorite time of year. I love the first snow of the year. I always make a snowman and take a picture. It hangs on my fridge all year long. It gets replaced with the firs snowman of the next year.

My favorite memory was going "toobing" while growing up. We would find the biggest hill and on the first day of snow our entire neighborhood would be going up and down on our over inflated tire tubes.
Building a snowman in the Smokey Mountains.
babychooch (at) gmail {dot} com
Making snow forts, snow people, and snow angels. Also, iceskating and sledding. We played a lot outside in the Winter.
My favorite memory is just getting to play in the snow with my children on days off.
Coming in when it's cold and drinking hot chocolate
I married a man with five children who had never seen snow. After our marriage the children came from Texas to live with us in Utah. The first time it snowed we bundled everyone up and headed up the canyon. We threw snow balls and built snowman. When we came home we had hot chocolate. It has been 14 years since then and the kids still talk every year about their first "SNOW".

Last year, my husband, 10 year old son and I went to Leavenworth, WA, in mid-December for the Christmas celebration. It was fantastic! Snow, lights everywhere, staying in a bungalow at a lodge close by, brilliant stars at night, crystaline air, singing carrols, hot chocolate, great food, and much more. It was magical and I would love to do it again.
my favorite memory is from my childhood when it would snow and my grandmother would make snowcream ahh it was the best
My favorite winter memory is taking my son sledding for the first time. The look of wonder in his eyes, was just priceless.
purehrt555(at)yahoo(dot)com
The silence that surrounded us deep in the Lincoln National Forest after a day of constant snow.
My favorite winter memory is coming in from playing outside in the cold, to the smell of a delicious supper waiting to be served, and enjoying the warmth while the windows were all frosted over.
My favorite winter memory is riding with my Dad on a horse into town when there was so much snow that the roads were all closed.

Digging snow caves and tunnels with my little brother out in the yard and decorating them like little huts.
We never had much "winter" in our part of CA. But I always loved going to the snow.

Imagine....snow everywhere, large flakes of glitzening stars falling from the soon to be dark sky.....a little girl in her red furry Santa Clause snowsuit laying on the floating clouds of snow....staring at the purple and white heavens above........I remember!
The snowstorm of 1977...school was canceled and we spent the day outside making igloos in the snow.
Going snow sliding with my sister. We would be bundled up so much we could hardly walk!! Oh the memories.
My favorite memory has to just lots of snow. I lived in the snowbelt of Ohio and in NH for the first half of my life. I now live in TN and snow is very rare around here and I miss it.
Our family lived in Howe Tx when I was little, I remember one year when Daddy came in and woke my little sister and I up to see the snow - huge, fat, fluffy snowflakes - and about 2 feet of snow which had fallen over night. It was magical.

I remember going to my Aunts house, all my cousins would be there and we would play out in the snow for hours. We would build huge snow forts and snow families. When we finally came inside we would have hot chocolate and cookies and play board games.
I hate winter. Too cold and icy for me. So my favorite memory was when we spent 1 month of winter in southern Florida. I can remember being outside in our tee shirts playing touch football on New Years day. Winters like that I could enjoy.
So many to choose from. However, my most recent favorite memory is from last winter. My daughter just turned one and I spent many hours outside pulling her around in her little red sled. If I slowed down at all she would start to kick her feet. It was amazing to see her go down the hill in our backyard with a huge grin on her face. I guess she is going be a real snow and speed lover when she grows up!
My favorite winter memory is sledding with my cousins and then going inside to hot chocolate and cookies!
My favorite winter memory is making snow angels on the front lawn with my friends and then coming inside to dry off and drink hot chocolate. Ahhh. . .the good ol' days!
my favorite memory is when we had a blizzard and were snowed in for 2 days i was little then and we played in the snow and went sledding it was so fun i loved the snow days from school
My favorite winter memory is sledding with my kids. Thanks for the contest!
My favorite memories are of sledding with my kids.
It was 1994, I had been dating a really nice guy for a while but we had not said those '3 little words' yet to each other. All the signs were there but those are not words to be taken lightly. Anyway, we were out on a day date, we went to a local ski resort to sled and just have fun. When the sun was starting to set we decided it was time to eat so off we went. I come around the corner and there in a clearing was a blanket with a basket, wine, the whole nine yards. I was speechless that he would get his friends to set this up for me. While eating we talked and cuddled. He then told me to look down the mountain and there in the snow it said "I love you (and my name)"...those 3 little words...not yet spoken out loud. So what does he do? He left me on the blanket, climbed to the top of the hill and shouted it out for all to hear "I love you (my name)".
Yes, yes, that is my fondest winter memory by far.
My favorite winter memory is digging tunnels through the snow and making snow caves in the front yard after the Blizzard of 1976.
I loved building snow forts with my sister and neighbors out of the big piles of snow at the end of the driveway from shoveling and the snow plow.
The best snow story I can remember is the blizzard of 78 I was stuck home with my two brothers my mom was stuck at work and we had a blast I would lock them out of the house and they didn't like it one bit
My favorite winter memory was building a huge fort with my kids all day long. My kids thought I was the coolest mom in the neighborhood!
My dad taking me to the hill to sled down it and have hot cocoa after. Aww the good ole days.
We went to NC, to Nana & Poppa's house for Christmas. The kids and I got there on Christmas Eve. My dad had bought a real tree before we got there, stuck it in the ground out back (they have a house on the side of a mountain, with a waterfall!) We went out in search for the perfect tree. It rarely snows there, but it started to snow as we went out (too perfect!)
The kids found the tree, my dad pretended to cut it down. It was so wonderful to be with them. I miss that time because a few years later, my dad who never drank or smoked, started coughing. The docs gave him 9-12 months to live, he suffered every day for 8 months. I miss him so much my heart hurts every single day.:(
harmonden[at]wowway.com
Every winter, the first time it snowed in the evening, my dad would take my mom and I sledding down a hilly road near us before they plowed it.
Jennifer, jennem22 at yahoo dot com
Making a small tunnel cave under the snow and hanging out in it for a couple hours.
ugh a painful one... walking across the ice and falling in the river! that was not a good day! lol
I loved sledding and ice skating in the winter when I was a kid. So much fun! Thanks for the chance to win your great giveaway!

I loved waiting for it to snow inthe winter - sometimes in vain (I live in Seattle). I still do. :)
Thank you for having this. My favorite memory is just us as a family sledding down hills in the winter. Thank you!
tatertot374@sbcglobal.net
I remember a Christmas eve that was as classic as the Night Before Christmas poem. It snowed huge flakes with no wind. wonderful
I moved in with my husband (who was my fiance at the time) in November of 2004. It was the most romantic winter on record. Here we are in 2008 with a three-year-old, a two-year-old, and an eight-month-old, and we still feel the same way...sigh...

I'm a Southern Gal so visiting my daughter in Massachusetts for the first time and seeing tons of snow was memorial!
It was winter 2003 and the last my kids and I would have with my husband. It began to snow on our drive home from seeing holiday lights so I pulled over in a parking lot and we got out, twirled around, and caught snow flakes on our tongues...unforgettable.
my favorite memory of winter is sledriding with my mom and dad-we would always take hot cocoa with us, it was so much fun.

My favorite winter memory is December 21, 1975. Outside it was cold and windy. Inside the house it was warm with wood burning heat and with excitement. My little brother was on his way. My parents had decided on a home birth and I was to experience it with them. However, the labor was taking too long for my five year old attention span. So our family friend, Phil and his son, Matthew and I went for a walk through the fields. I remember the cold air whipping through my hair and the sound of my father yelling for us to come quick. Josh was coming! What an amazing experience; to see my brother born on the first day of winter.
My father would take the day off whenever we had a snow day. He would help us build snowmen. When it was time to give the snowman accessories, Daddy would go inside to make us hot chocolate. My father passed away recently, and I will always have this memory to cherish.
My favorite winter memory were the days that my mother would drop a carload of my girlfriends and I off at Cobbs Hill Park which was very near where we lived. We would go up to the top of this huge hill where there was this lodge called the Tay House. My mom would leave us there for about 4 hours and we would sled down the huge hill next to Tay House all day long. We had these plastic sleds called mini-boggans and we could literally go down the hill lightening fast! On an average afternoon we must have sled down and walked back up that hill at least 50-60 times! We would then go into the Tay House lodge and have hot cocoa and cookies. Back in the late 80's when I was going there times were simpler, parents could leave their kids for an afternoon and we were free to be kids, carefree and happy go lucky. I miss those days and wish I could do the same things for my own 3 children now, but I would never, ever dare leave them alone at a park in this crazy world! Thank you for giving me the chance to remember this fond childhood memory! It was a lot of fun to share!

I remember deep snows in Illinois and my brothers and I would sled down the hill that we lived on and slide all the way over to a creek. I was 7 or 8 and we would sled all winter long.
My favorite memory is my mom and I sledding on garbage can lids. We don't get snow here very often but that year we had almost 18 inches. My mom loves snow and will call me in the middle of the night to tell me she saw a snowflake!!!

My favorite winter memories are snow days spent playing in the wonderland in upstate NY and then coming in for some yummy hot chocolate and whatever treat mom made for us.
My favorite winter memory is of baking assort.cookies on snowy days with my mom. Thanks so much for this giveaway.:)
One day playing outside in a snowstorm and my mom used her hands to spell out S-N-O-W-D-A-Y in the window, what a wonderful word for a kid!
Mom making hot cocoa and baking cookies for us kids.
I remember how beautiful everything looked after an intense ice storm a few years ago.
We used to build igloos in the backyard and we'd make little refrigerators. Then we'd bring out some cookies in little ziploc bags and store them in our fridges out there and have them for snacks. We had so much fun!

One year it snowed in Pensacola, Florida! I made a snowman, all of six inches tall, and we put it in the deep freeze until it died of freezer burn. That's one of my favorite winter memories. Lands End makes some wonderful products. Whoever wins is going to be snuggly warm this winter!
My favorite winter memories are of growing up in the mountains of West Virginia. I still recall the excitement of a snowy winter morning when the roads would be all snow covered and we just knew we would have a snow day off from school. Mothers would make sure we children waited for the school bus, just in case school was in session. Once the time had passed - it was then sleigh riding time! I could always count on my Mom supplying us with a wonderful thermos of hot chocolate to drink :)
