Winter Wonderland

Winter is officially here in Saskatchewan. Despite its annually appearance it somehow catches people off guard. People loathe winter, despite the fact that they have lived here their entire lives, and for some it brings out the worst. My advise is to embrace the season! Live each season as it passes; take in the sights, sounds, tastes of each. To ease the winter blues I have come up with the twenty best things to look forward to this winter.

20. Snuggling up with a great book

17. Mid-Winter Celtic Festival - Feb. 5th and 6th
