Let's face it - the most fun I have in winter is sitting inside with some hot chocolate or chai and look outside. If you haven't understood that by now, I guess you haven't read all my advent calendar posts ;-)
The sky in a cold winter night however is something you shouldn't experience from the inside. Why there is a difference for me between a winter and a summer sky I don't know, but half of the fun is feeling the tip of your nose freezing, burying your hands deeply in your coat pockets, inhaling deeply, making your throat burning from the cold air, longing for some hot beverage and look up there ... to feel very small, very humble and thoroughly grateful for being part of this planet when seeing the millions of stars some of which have been gone themselves while their light is still travelling ...
If you insist on staying inside, though, I got some more stars for you. Click on the picture to get taken to the original collection on ArtFire.
I totally agree with you on the cold winter nights. The air is cold and crisp and the night sky seem so much clearer than in the summer. I love it. I love the pretty starri bobbles you posted too ;)
