One calendar month since Christmas Day. I am very aware that the last vestiges of the festive season are ebbing away. We finished the Christmas cake this week and yesterday I made some very fancy cheese straws from the last of the hard cheeses. We still have some festive lights up  to twinkle during the remaining long winter evenings.

I expect my Christmas books and shower products to last until the summer. Christmas chocolates might  make it all the way through February or even March. A whole winter’s worth of small treats.

Time shape shifts for me in the winter. 25 Nov to 25 December the days hurtle past,while clocking up a whole month after Christmas has seemed like a slow plod through porridge.

So much for me taking a new attitude to winter. Is it OK to say that I have certainly addressed each day with a positive attitude and that has greatly improved my journey. But winter  still lags at the back in my list of favourite seasons. Maybe I should try harder next year or maybe I just shouldn’t worry. In every list there is always a least favourite.

Hibernation would suit me very well if I could do it in a snug place with my Christmas Leftovers and my books. Is that too much to ask?
