We haven't had a big winter storm in our area this season, but the law of averages says it's bound to happen, either way winters sting calls to us to indulge ourselves as kind of a reward for its cruelty.

I think we have all enjoyed the hopeless feeling of being shut in during a massive snow storm, and actually enjoyed it.

How many really good reasons to we have for flopping on the couch, watching a movie and indulging in some of our favorite winter storm activities.

A recent survey listed Americans top winter storm indulgences, they include;

  • Sitting by the fire.
  • Cuddling and drinking hot chocolate.
  • Lying around reading a book.
  • Staying inside all day in your pajamas.
  • Sleeping in.
  • Baking something, then eating it all.
  • Staying in bed all day.
  • Ordering delivery.
  • Taking a hot bubble bath.
  • Watching TV.

I usually try to keep the driveway from accumulating too much snow, but sometimes even that can wait.

Most of us do not feel guilty about our winter storm rituals, so get ready I'm sure your next chance to indulge will be here soon.
