Wintery Favorites

1. Grilled Cheese with Tomato Soup!!!
   
2. Puzzles, lots and lots of puzzles. It's a lonely hobby at the Charles' household - my husband would rather die than sit still and stare at puzzle pieces for any amount of time. Eh, I'd probably kick him out anyways . . . he might mess up my strategies!
3. Christmas movies - from classics like White Christmas, to Home Alone, to Elf, to Harry Potter . . . okay, I know Harry Potter isn't a Christmas movie, but I just like watching it when it's cold outside. It makes me feel like I am at Hogwarts.
   
4. Cleaning house. This is strictly a winter hobby. Something about the cold making you feel all cozy inside your little home, makes you want to keep it tidy and comfortable. I purchased a new vacuum to encourage this hobby and it's my new best friend. Nerd alert, I know. It's an Electrolux Ergorapido. It's cordless, which was my must-have. I use it much more since I can just pick it up and zip around the room real quick.
5. Candles! I really really want the Woodwick Pumpkin Spice and Currant candles. But alas, I haven't purchased them yet. Making the two year old tea candles work this season.

If money were no object, I would have many more wintery favorites . . . but there is plenty of things I already have that still make it feel like Christmas. Hot chocolate anyone?!
