I've never actually experienced winter before, but here in the Philippines, December is nice and cool, which is a nice change from the usual hot weather.
My favorite thing about Mid Winter is that Spring is just around the corner. Seriously it is COLLLLLLD where I live! (okay, but I do love playing in the snow)
i like Mid winter because it is that much closer to springtime!

The best thing about mid-winter is its proximity to the holidays! Time with family, an excuse to eat more sweets than necessary, all great things. It's practically the definition of mid-winter! (:
thx for the giveaway
=)
Thanks for the giveaway.
What I like about midwinter is that this is the shortest day of the year. After that, it gets lighter again - I don't like dark nights!
Snow of course! ;)

There's no winter in the country where I live... However, I think the snow would be something I'd enjoy during mid-winter, since I've never experienced snow or its coldness.
The thing I like most about mid-winter (winter in general) is being able to wear my warm clothes, doesn't get cold very often in Australia, gotta enjoy it while you can :)

Celebrating Christmas will all my extended family, and watching my girls open their Santa presents on Christmas morning. Also, curling up with a good book, and hot apple cider while the snow falls outside.
My favorite thing about mid-winter is that winter is halfway over. lol I hate the cold. I'm kind of like Bella Swan in that way. I don't like anything cold or wet and I won't ever have a hot big werewolf to keep me warm so...I just have to endure it to the end.
My favorite thing about Mid-Winter are the cold snowy evenings where I can just stay in with the family and watch a good movie!

I love reading in bed, under 3 quilts, with a roaring fire, and about 8 cats sleeping on top of me. A little bit of bedside chocolate never goes amiss either.
My favorite thing is that I'm always on vacation over the holidays & I can relax, visit with friends, and hang out around the house which I love to do because I love my home. My birthday is Dec. 21 so I always have fun, esp. since I don't have to go to the office that day.
