A Winter Wonderland

Remember when we were celebrating the joys of summer? Now we're back to the days of twinkling lights, early sunsets and swooshing downhill. And while winter may not be everyone's favorite season, there's still a lot to enjoy about snow flurries, merry making, and traveling by sleigh (which seems to happen only in the movies).
