Favorite Thing about This Time of Year

[jbishop15]

The peace that comes with the cold weather. Everything seems to slow down, and relax, at least for me. 

That, and big sweaters.

I enjoy the lights, decorations, better spirits, music, college bowl games, my family, the gifts, and the food.  By January 7th I am ready for Spring.

This time of the year gives me the excuse to buy golf stuff...I say to myself..is Christmas!...lol. $1k later...I start feeling buying remorse.

I get to see the Grandkids more this time of the year with their birthdays and the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays!

I buy stuff this time of year too. This year I've been smart and avoided buying a bunch of clubs.

The possibility of skiing, golfing, and/or fishing in the same day (weather permitting)

Turkey with all the trimmings, and the smile on my son's face when he opens his presents (also my youngest's 1st christmas)

Holy cow! You just pushed one of my buttons! I swear I could eat roast turkey, dressing, and gravy every day!

However, I spotted this thread on March 3, so I will say this. It's March, the "cruelest" month in some folks estimation since it's the transition from Winter to Spring. But MLB teams are in Spring training, and the Sun is higher in the sky than it's been for quite a while. Enough so that you can actually feel the heat in the sunlight now!

At this time of year, on a sunny day I like nothing better than going outside, closing my eyes, and turning my face towards the Sun feeling the warmth on my face.

It is getting close to Spring.

That its 65 degrees one day, and 25 the next.

Sleep deprivation. ... Oh wait. You were asking for favorite. Never mind.

Lengthening days.  They're finally long enough I can leave work @ 4:45 and walk 4-5 holes.  But the big one:  come Sunday morning -- start of Daylight Savings!!  Then, at least 12-13 holes after work, or hitting the airfield w/my planes or helis for a couple of hours.

Yup, we just crossed over 12 hours of daylight here in Michigan. A few weeks until the official handicap season opens. A lot of anticipation.

One of the things I love about the Masters is how green and beautiful the course is. Here in MA, everything still is brown and dormant.

Well, it's now June 2, and I just got my garden planted! Can't wait for those home grown tomatoes! I will not buy a tomato in a grocery store any more. They taste like crap! So, tomatoes become a seasonal delicacy for me. That's OK. I'd rather eat good!

My favorite thing about June is obviously watching my hockey team play hockey.

That happens so much, it's not special anymore!

I like being able to hang around inside with a window open or the AC on just very slightly, with sunlight pouring in the windows.

Plus, it's almost tomato and corn season!
