A Winter Wonder.

So its that magical time of year  again, the air is crisp and fresh you see your breath through the cold and seize the opportunity to wrap up in your finest winter woolies, Snuggling up under a cosy hat scarf and gloves means winter really is the warmest time, Warmer than warmth in fact! Winter is loved  for the cosiness through the cold. So, does this mean that cold weather brings a warmer feeling than warm weather, Well Ironically yes!
Lets investigate, well the heart of a human is indeed he most vital of all our organs, and it is indeed the heart that is touched throughout winter, Christmas is at the epicentre, the heart of winter and the build up of this makes it a wonderful time, Kids and adults alike get carried away in the sheer brilliance, charm and the fantastical nature of Christmas.
The season brings people closer together, being around a cosy fire on a long dark evening feels so right and putting on a selection of Frank Sinatra’s finest whilst sitting around the blaze feels just about perfect, add some mulled wine to the scenario some freezing ice cold conditions whilst you glance out the window and the heart is singing J
The sparkle of winter is truly spectacular, the earth is clean as if mother nature had been preparing for this time, dirt is frozen and instead replaced with a wealth of fresh air and cleanliness, like a luxury new carpet sewed by a wonderful craftsman. Joy to the World is restored and decorated through a shining  array of glistening lights and lanterns in anticipation for the arrival of Christmas and indeed the birth of our Lord.
Winter, also brings with it the birth of a new year, a new dawn and an anticipation for new beginnings, the death of what was and the hope for what will be, a rebirth of oneself and a promise for a  new aspiration, a resolution, a song to be sung and  a dream to be realised. One has an excuse to  fulfil new desires for the birth of a new year.
A cup of spice to toast a winter so wild and wonderful, to vanquish the leaves off a tree revealing a strong  and mighty bark, branching out for times to come, full of flourish and a circle of life, the death of  a single flower to become a daughter of  another and a never ending world of splendour and marvel.
Embrace the wise tree for they have seen many a winter come and go, and respect the tree of life in which you have grown to become who you are, and what you will be for many a winter to come!
