Reflections of the  cold  days  that await us. Layers of blankets. Bundles of clothes. Heat fills this room  to make  this season  more cheerful. 

Warm up these cold hands  they feel like bitter death. Small town. Full of hope. Always working. Mid-night movies. Dreams too many to count. Alone? No, not alone. Together we are. 

I don't remember going to bed last night but  I do remember waking up on this cold,cold morning. Damn this cold weather, damn it all. Warm wishes and cold fishes. (What the hell does that even mean?) So back to the beginning it seems.  A new year is right in front of us. Forget about last year. It is done and gone. Not to be seen ever again. Goodbye....A dios Amigos.

Everybody is waiting for the big day. It's more than just toys & chocolates & clothes. It's more than just Santa in a big red suit  &  the  birth of  Jesus & all that stuff. It's more than just watching classic Christmas  movies & drinking hot chocolate on a cold  Friday night.   Everybody is waiting for the  big  day  but  it's so much more than that.

A freezing cold November day. Bundled up in blankets and layers of clothes. Long Johns and sweaters are now the normal attire. A mad rush to the grocery store to stock up on milk, bread, and beer. Turn up the heat inside the house. Warm up the car for a few minutes before driving.  Hot and tasty comfort foods such as chili and soup bring a smile to everyone's face. (Don't forget about the hot chocolate). Oh yeah, and of course the all-time favorite classic drink that everyone loves....Hot Chocolate. How could you forget about that.   Let the hibernation begin.
