As I've stated before, winter has historically been a rough time of year for me. I'm definitely more of a sunshine kind of girl. But in recent years I've implemented things into my daily life and routine specific to this time of year that not only makes this time of year tolerable -- but enjoyable. A big aspect of that is music. With each season, I find myself gravitating towards certain genres but I feel that the most during the months we spend most of our time indoors. I've created stations and playlists I go back to every year that remind me of winter and after you revisit them for a while, you start to associate those songs with winter time. For me, this has really helped me to embrace the current season and celebrate the unique beauty it holds that no other seasons do. So I've created a playlist of songs I associate with this time of year that you're free to take ideas from. But I also encourage you to decide for yourself what songs make you feel good during winter and make your own playlist to revisit every year!
