Halloween

Beaujolais Nouveau

Thanksgiving

Burns Night

The ski season

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire ...

Bonking in front of Log Fires ! :-) lol lol

[Zacs-Master]

Ah yes Beaujolais Nouveau. That event where the French palm off all their crap wine at inflated prices.

Winter walks with my dawg.

Stew.

Real fires.

Skiing.

Slipping on the unsalted roads. Higher heating bills, colds, the flu, Seasonal Affective Disorder. :-(

Crumpets dripping with butter ...

Damart Thermolactyl Vests ...

Lighting up the wood-burner for me, oh and being able to control my own temperature by adding more clothes, rather than taking them off and still being too hot.

Drawing the curtains at 4.30pm

Nice hot casserole and stews.

Starting your evening out in the dark.

Mulled wine.

[joggerjayne]

Big chunky scarves

Oaps dying of hypothermia because they can't afford to turn the heating on.

Weazle, JJ's very jolly, she'll celebrate anything if there's a drink involved :-) I'm English but will happily cook a haggis on Burns Night.

[sunny-dave]

I had haggis for tea last night - with a decent dram to celebrate my first cold of the winter ...

[joggerjayne]

Weazle ...

We do Thanksgiving because we have an American friend who lives here.

We do Burns Night because the Burns Ball is one of the best parties of the year.

We do Halloween because everybody does Halloween.

[sandyRoe]

Has Halloween superseded Guy Fawkes night now?

[Zacs-Master]

Expense doesn't bother JJ.
