However, in the meantime, I've been blog-tagged by Leslie from The Upstream Writer to do a Christmas (although she says it can be wintry, all things considered :p) Posting.
Rules: use the same title and top picture (check), answer the questions (of course!), and tag 5 fellow bloggers (mmm...problematic, since I don't know that I have that many compatriots, but we'll see).
So without further ado...
A Few of my Favorite Things Blog-Tag Questions-and-Answers
1. What are some of your favorite "Snuggle Weather" books?
Sadly, I don't have any books that I consistently read or gravitate to in Snuggle Weather. I blame this on the fact that there are always so many amazing, "new" books to read. That said, I really love The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (by Barbara Robinson) and Shepherds Abiding (by Jan Karon) as Christmas-time stories!
2. What is your favorite wintry snack?
Mmmm. Peppermint hot chocolate. (Yum!)
3. What are some of your favorite hot drinks?
Chai teas - always, peppermint hot chocolate - for special occasions, and peach tea lattes - for comfort. Oh yeah, I drink my fair share of coffee, too.
4. What are some of your favorite Christmas movies?
Favorite Christmas movies seem often to gain their titles for reasons of nostalgia. Imagine my dismay, therefore, in answering this question - because we rarely watched Christmas-themed movies while I was growing up! That's not to say we didn't watch any, it just isn't an essential part of my warm-and-fuzzy Christmas memories.
However, I find The Nativity a beautiful - and more honest than most - telling of the Christmas story.
5. What are some of your favorite holiday songs?
I love the songs in Michael Card's album The Promise, specifically "Joseph's Song," "We Will Find Him," "Thou The Promise," and "Jacob's Star."
6. Favorite snow day crafts?
*Ahem* Does reading count as a craft? Because that's my hands-down fav for snow days! Otherwise, I like knitting, crocheting, hand-sewing...anything that makes pretty things while not demanding my full attention (because if I'm not reading, I'm enjoying the people around me!).
7. Do you want to build a snowman?
Of course!!! Also...sometimes not. I didn't with our recent snowing, because I've developed a nasty cold and was being a stuffy old lady in attempts to not make it worse. But theoretically, yes- always.
And that wraps up the bloggy game! Lauren, Mikaela, or Elanee, if you feel like carrying on with posts of your own, please do! Otherwise, I would love to hear any- and every- one's answers to these questions in the comments!!
Blessings!

Sarah, what a great list! It is so fun to hear what other people love! This list of questions was tough!
#4: we don't really watch a favorite Christmas movie either; however, we love to turn off the lights, start a fire (in the fireplace), curl up together, and listen to FOF's dramatization of A Christmas Carol! Yep, every year!
#5: We love the old Point of Grace Christmas albums.
#7: Sure... think about it a lot. While in my nice, warm house. Thinking about building snowmen. Gloriously wonderful snowmen! ;)
I really enjoy your blog! God bless you in 2016!
I loved reading your post Sarah, and seeing how many things we have in common that we like this time of year:)
Thanks SO much for tagging me. I'll put up a post on my blog right away:) I hope you're doing well, and enjoying the new year:)
Such a lovely list of things people love! Chocolate is my favorite thin on the Earth:) Thank you so much for sharing this, Sarah! I like reading your blog. Let the Lord be merciful to you and yours. Hope the first day of spring will bring you His blessings.
Bless you and yours,
