Light up that fire!

It is that time of year again. No , I dont mean the holiday season, I am talking about winter in this beautiful city.
I remember my first winter, I was very excited about the slushy snow/ rain; thinking this is what snow looks like ( I had never seen snow before in my life).
Let me tell you what winter means to me, a girl who is in love with Montreal.

Winter is when hot chocolate tastes like little drops of cherries dunked in heavenly wine; exciting your taste buds and warming your bloodstream gently. It is a beautiful lonely night when the darkness of the sky is reflected in the whitness of the earth, it is that tingly touch of snowflakes finding their way to your face. Winter is when you curl up infront of that little fireplace next to your loved ones.....It is knowing that no matter how dark things might look, you wake up the next day to realise that not only is there light at the end of the tunnel , but there is light everywhere.......My winter is not just winter..It is Montreal's Winter.....

It is also a little bit about gingerbread man, boots, coats , gloves and curling up with a warm blanket and a cup of tea!
