Long John Season

Get your thermal underwear out, hat, scarve, gloves (or mittens,) pile on the layers, open up the boiler room, let in the heat, get yourself all snuggly warm before you step outside, get ready for the artic wind, it will be here VERY soon and it will try to knock you over, get ready to scratch your dry as hell legs until they're red and hairless, get ready to lose all your winter accessories at least once, runny noses are coming, snow in your shoes, slippery sidewalks, crosses in the cold, hand warmers are an extras best friend, time for lots of homemade soup and spaghetti, get ready for the holidays, going home on crowded trains, last minute shopping, insisting family buy you nothing because it only makes the train-ride back more stressful, juggling visits between two families, work gets slower and slower, and then BOOM everything lights up again, get ready for the passing of another year...it's all about to be here.
