We spent an entire month celebrating Advent, then Christmas and then a few day for New Years. Now that the Holidays are behind us we are left with the cold winter months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a lot of us, these few month will be dark, cold, and snowy, causing us to lose the joy and cheerfulness we had just a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how do we overcome the winter blues? By making it something to celebrate of course!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Why Celebrate Winter?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’re not a cold loving, snow enjoying person, you may be questioning why you would even want <\/em>to celebrate winter at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winter Produces Rest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Winter is a time for the earth to rest. The coldness and the snow allows plants to go into a state of dormancy, while their roots continue to thrive, and keep the plants alive. This allows the plants to be ready to produce come spring time.1<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like our native plants, we can take advantage of this time, and learn to rest as well. We are not made to keep going, and going, and going…. We need rest too!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Celebrating Winter Puts Us in a Good Mindset<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I’m someone who tries to find the joy in every season that we’re in. I can’t control the weather, but I can control how I respond to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding little ways to celebrate winter instead of dreading it, will most definitely make these few months enjoyable….and maybe even something you look forward to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We talked about true joy in Advent a few weeks ago, and how it doesn’t depend on circumstances. Allowing God to give you this joy and learning to be content, plays a big role in being able to be happy in all seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1. Start a New Project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you have a hobby you like, take advantage of the winter months by starting a new project that you can do. Make it your goal to finish before spring, and take time in the evenings to work on it, or whenever you can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This gives you something creative to do, instead of or while watching TV at the end of your day. Helping you to beat those winter blues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
