Top 10 Reasons Why I Hate Winter

It’s the time of the year when everyone’s favorite conversation is “Ahhh, finally! Winter!” and “DAMN. I’m not emotionally ready to wave good-bye to the summer.”

As for me, I’m a summer person. I hate winter because:

1. It’s pitch black by 5:00. I like my sun, thank you.

2. My winter allergies are back. According to my immunologist, I’m allergic to pine trees, and they bloom in winter. Waking up every day with a stuffy nose sucks.

3. I can’t wear my skirts no more.

4. Driving with fogged up windows is just awful.

5. You are now confined to living rooms, the insides of cafes and restaurants, and other stuffy spaces.

6. Waking up in winter is a 100 times harder than waking up in the summer. Getting out of the warm air pockets of the bed is HELL.

7. My glasses constantly get fogged up.

8. The flu.

9. I grew up in the desert. 20 degrees was my winter. The 5 degree-nights of Amman are like living in Antartica as far as I’m concerned.

10. Winter clothes suck. They “inhale” all kinds of bad smells and are not as machine-washing friendly as their happy cotton summer counter parts.

Are you a summer or a winter person? If you’re a winter person, you must enlighten me with your Top 10 Reasons Why You Love Winter.

    Here are my survival tips :
    1. get palm trees. put them all over your house
    2. get space heaters. when nobodys home, crank them up, get in your bikini, and relax on a lawn chair in your living room, while listening to caribbean music.
    3. put seashells and summery pics everywhere.
    4. GO on vacation. This winter I am spending partially in Barbados and Florida. Yippee :)

    the ONE thing I love about winter? Its not too hot for hugs! :)

    I agree, I HATE WINTER…

    Living in Minnesota, it gets absolutely brutal here. 6 months of winter:
    -cold
    -ice
    -bad roads
    -salt ruins your car
    -muscles get super stiff and create really bad back pain
    -standing in line freezing ass off for the stupid city bus because of having to work downtown
    -snow, snow and more snow+hate for snow=sucks
    -and like everyone said, lack of sun. I love my sunshine!

    Once my wife decides to hurry up and get done with school, we’re outta here to warmer climates. My body just can’t take this abuse anymore. Anyone who loves winter for 6 months out of the year while having to be outside in -20 degree weather is freakin nuts.

    I hate winter in mid-Italy because here we have a lot of humidity and during winter it’s even colder than it would be in a dry place. I can’t stay outside much, being an outside person I hate staying in confined spaces. I also hate there’s so little sun time: there can be an entire week with NO SUN AT ALL. It literally sucks the life out of you.
