Official SS Poll: What’s Your Favorite Cold-Weather Comfort Habit?

[SS Project Manager]

When the weather turns cold, life naturally slows down a bit. The air feels crisper, the evenings get darker earlier, and suddenly all you want is something warm and comforting. Cold weather has a funny way of pulling us back indoors and encouraging simple pleasures.

Some people head straight for the kitchen. Others reach for blankets, books, or a crackling fire. These little habits help us unwind and make the season feel cozy instead of gloomy.

There’s no wrong answer when it comes to staying cozy. These habits help us slow down, recharge, and enjoy the season for what it is. Share your choice and let us know why it makes cold days better for you. Your idea might inspire someone else to try something new this winter.

Best thing ever - my heated mattress pad! Other cold weather comforters: cozy thick sock slippers and hot tea! I'm a coffee in the morning person, but evenings are for enjoying a hot cup of green tea made even better if it's cold outside.

all of the above! i am usually quite comfy on my perch here, but in the winter it is even nicer to have some hot chocolate and a good book to read (and no chores waiting!).

Mom was nice to me last night when she was cooking as she doesn't usually do the dishes (i told her years ago that she never had to do any dishes again if she didn't want to and she's mostly lived up to that! (um, oops )...) but she said last night when i asked her about it that she wanted to give me a break (it's been a lot of baking and cooking lately so i was appreciative and did say thank you and gave her a big hug). i didn't have too much to clean up last night, just a few canning jars and a pan to wash.
