Because...

...winter is not my favorite season {other than Christmas, snow, and skiing}, I thought I'd list reasons here-and-there when I find something that I enjoy about winter.

#1 - beautiful sunshine {Isn't it true that the earth is closer to the sun during the winter?  Today, it is frigid, and I am not saying that lightly, but the sun is shining.  And it is always so beautiful in the winter.}
