Embrace the Chilly Season With These Heart-Warming Winter Quotes
Winter is a polarizing season—in more ways than one! At its best, winter brings us so many opportunities for fun winter activities, whether you're embracing the chill with a snowball fight or keeping warm by the fire at a holiday soirée. And with all that cold-weather fun comes nourishing winter stews at the end of the day, like hearty lasagna soup and pumpkin chili. At the same time, however, blustery weather and diminishing daylight can suck the fun (and warmth) out of it all, leaving many of us as grumpy as the Grinch.
