Is it just me or does anyone else feel very tempted to hibernate for the winter.

It's so dull and cold and wet, I just want to stay indoors. I have absolutely no inclination to go out at all. I really have to force myself to do anything that involves putting my foot over the doorstep. I have done the majority of my Xmas shopping online as I just can't be bothered.

I love been outside in nice weather but at the moment the urge to curl up and snooze the winter away is very appealing.

How do you get the energy to do anything in the winter ?.

Taz, this does not apply to you.

I know what you mean HB.
I'd rather be indoors with the lights on and my LED candles flickering away.
It's much brighter in than out.
You only have to look outside on a dull and dreary day and it makes you feel depressed.
Well, it does me anyway

Certainly I was getting fed up with the constant dull damp air ……. we had break yesterday with very sharp frost, blue skies and sunshine.  Today; dull again.

I want to hibernate in order to avoid C.mas 

[Dyan]

I love christmas.
I'll hibernate for a few wks after when it goes into that lull..............

[Joyce]

Oh I so would love to. Food & drink could be delivered to the door.  Are you snowed under yet HB?

I think it's got something to do with lack of natural daylight. Even my dog semi hibernates at this time of year.

Some people buy daylight lamps, I know a couple of ladies who have one because they get depressed in the winter.

I'm glad you said that it doesn't apply to me honeybun. I'm beginning to get that panicky feeling now as the shortest day approaches! I feel so alive at this time of year but just want it to last forever. I get a bit annoyed that Christmas is during the winter and takes up a lot of my winter time where I could be just drinking in all of the winter atmosphere - short dark days - lovely!

I have to go out every day for exercise and fresh air, come evening and I like to feel cosy don't want to be anywhere else but at home especially in the Winter.

[Taz2]

I tend to go out much more in the winter than in the summer. Hate the brightness of the sunshine and want to squirrel myself away indoors. In the winter I just love the sights and sounds - the trees all bare showing off their shapes - the smell of the leaves or just the winter smell. I also love the fact that I can go out for a walk and not feel too hot. Best of all is the way the dusk falls and everything is hushed up apart from the robin singing his last song of the day. Everything seems to be holding it's breath and suspended somehow.

CLKD, hubby has TV on, but he's playing patience on his tablet. I've given up moaning about it so thought I'd amuse myself!

Maybe it's different down south Taz but here on the Scottish West Coast it's dull and dank. Either that or it would blow you off your feet.
Today we have had such low light levels my lamps have been lit all day. Can't remember when I last saw a blue sky.
I love my coastline but when it's gun metal grey and roaring waves all the time I just want to curl up indoors and ignore the world until the milder days arrive.
We are forecast sleet and snow tonight and gale force winds by Wednesday.


I still want to be a door mouse and hide myself away till spring.

Yep dull and dark and dank with the little indoor lights on. Can't explain it but I just feel right in that sort of weather. At work last week I watched the rain sweeping across the farmland towards the school and I just felt at home. Don't worry - it will soon be summer again honeyb.
