I don't want you seeing your shadow! I love winter, after fall, it is my favorite season. True, spring does have some good parts: baseball, camping, taking walks, my garden awakening, playground trips. But winter has wonderful opportunities as well:
~~more time for knitting, scrapbooking, and any other creative process I can work on
~~snuggling on the couch with a good book, a blanket, and a warm little body next to me
~~hot cocoa
~~playing cards, board games, video games
~~baking, baking, baking
~~snow, lots of it
Hibernation, according to dictionary.com, is
~~to withdraw or be in seclusion; retire
~~to be in an inactive or dormant state or period
~~to spend the winter in close quarters in a dormant condition, as bears and certain other animals
I don't mind the seclusion for short periods of time. After about a week, I am ready to leave the house. I am not inactive at home however (see list of activities above :)).
I see winter as my time to rest and relax more, to get refreshed for the busy springtime. With 3 kids in either baseball or softball, evenings are spent running from practice to practice and later game to game.
