#29: I Am Cold and Miserable
It’s not the cold that sucks; it’s being soaked in freezing water and sitting in it for hours after. December rolls in with dreams of fluffy snowflakes and snowmen, but often, it’s more like a cold shower that never seems to end. You’re all prepped with the cozy coat and the cheerful spirit, ready to build a snow-pal, but instead, you get drenched by the dreary drizzle of reality.

The rain just adds insult to injury, turning what could be a winter wonderland into a slushy, soggy mess. There’s nothing quite like the squelch of wet socks to dampen the holiday mood. So, we trudge on, our snowman-building plans washed away, counting down the days until we can justifiably wrap ourselves in a blanket and refuse to leave the house.
