Since it just snowed like a foot in Chicago this week, I've been trying to figure out what I can do that won't lose me any toes in the cold, lol. So I thought I'd throw up a poll and see what everyone else likes to do in the winter time :]
Personally, I like to just sit and read and spend time with my family and friends inside. I'm actually more active in the winter than summer, since I can just throw on more layers to stay warm or huddle under a blanket with a dog in my lap lol.
I used to be all about building snowmen and snowball fights, but I've gotten old and lazy, haha. A few kids tried to organize an anthro department snowball fight last week, but as anthropologists we like to sit and observe... in a nice warm building, hahahahaha.

Definitely spending time with the family and friends, and reading a book is good all year round. And then uhm. Sled riding? I wish we had nice hills haha. Taking the dogs out into the woodsy areas is nice too.
oh haha. Bowling? it's a ~winter sport~.

Whatever the question.
The answer's always shopping.

Ice Fishing & Hunting are my top winter things to do. Next to those, Snow Machining and snow men are in 2nd. I just LOVE winter all around though.

Whatever the question. The answer's always shopping. XD My favorite winter pastimes are hot chocolate, Christmas cookies, snowmen, and music. I <3 Christmas music.

I really love ice skating not in a dirty crowded rink but on a vast frozen pond maybe with a couple of friends or someone special. Next I love spending time with my friends around Christmas, because since I don't celebrate it I still get to decorate the tree, and family because it makes the holidays so special. And hot chocolate, who doesn't like hot chocolate (besides crazy people)?

i enjoy sledding. always fun, esp at college, we would steal the trays and use them as sleds!! and of course playing with the dogs outside...i wanna get some x-backs and some skis or something for my 2. but i also like being out in the woods whether it be hunting with my hubby or taking pictures!!
and after all that outside mumbo jumbo, you cant not have hot chocolate and some whipped cream!!!

The big thing that I love about winter is being able to spend time with loved ones, and get some time off.. But I'm also excited to find out how Char will react to his first snow!

Spending time with family/friends, reading, and drinking EGGNOG. Yum. I also love sledding - it's a lot of fun. ^^ There's a huge hill near the Domes (Mitchell Park) in Milwaukee that I always used to go to when I lived there. <3

Anything that will probably involve me running/jumping/digging/crawling through the snow like some crazy animal. XD Only a few years ago I would actually go outside by myself (I was about 11) in the park and play in the snow, pretending I was a wolf.

Haha, I love drinking hot chocolate and going for winter walks.. But I have to be careful that coyotes don't smell it and attack me.. XD
Sledding and building snow men is definitely high on the list too. Just cause I'm 17 doesn't mean I've stopped XD
