I’ll be honest. I hate winter. I usualy say these winter place should have a tedious shoveling mini game that randomly pop up and force you to play it for 20 minutes a couple times a week. That will teach you what winter is!

But I must say I loved the winter cutteridge. Almost bought it and it’s still on the “possible purchase” list. Juggernaut did a great job and it’s defenetively more than a simple re-skin.

Thank You Burbie,

Those Christmas lights were amazing when I began decorating too. :)All in all the past seasons winter spaces were great! And the idea of having fun without the cold is a good one.

Thank You for sharing Terra,
That image of Norse was pretty much like the memories that flooded me as I remembered the magic excitement I felt as a kid whenever it snowed. But I am certain it does not compare completely to the moment of seeing it fall from the sky the first time. I live where we get snow every year and I don’t remember the first time I saw it fall. I’m sure the both of you will never look at a snowfall with out that image and a smile from now on.

Thank You

Those of us who have lived in “the land of ice and snow” do tend to take it for granted, and tend to -- in our adulthood -- bemoan its arrival instead of explore it, like we did in our youth. I’m no exception.

Then Norse came for a visit over the holidays.

The last time he’s seen snow was when he was a small child, and he’s never experienced falling snow.

Until he came here.

Picture, if you will, this:

A grown man, wearing no coat, with the biggest, silliest grin on his upturned face, looking up at the sky in complete childlike wonder as snowflakes collect in his hair.

And in witnessing that moment, it reminded me of my own fond memories of snow.

Thank you for sharing this story.

I really like the Lockwood Abbey Hill winter version. Had a blast making it my permanent Christmas space in Home. I like the Juggernaut one as well and particularly the Christmas lights you can put out with the wreathes.
I don’t love snow so much as I drive in it everyday, but it is fun being able to goof off in it without getting cold. Nice article Phoenix.
