While all good things, I still prefer winter. Xmas is always a big deal with my ******, and my b-day is around the same time. I would get outside more in the summer, but I'm highly allergic to mosquitos...I end up with huge welts that itch and sting. I'm allergic to bees too...I have to carry one of those emergency pens in case I get stung, so I don't go into shock. Summer is just too hazardous for me, LOL.
