Friday Five: Winter is coming edition

Here are today's questions from thefridayfive.

1) What is your favorite thing about the winter?
I get to wear a lot of the cute sweaters I bought in previous winters...plus leggings!

2) What is your favorite winter sport?
I...don't know that I have a favorite winter sport? Oh! Maybe hockey?

3) What is the best winter treat?
Fudge? Hot chocolate? Hot apple cider?

4) What is the earliest time in the year it ever snowed where you live?
It doesn't snow in my part of Southern California. But I want to say 2 or 3 hours drive north of me in the mountains, it will snow there if it's cold enough when it rains. But I don't ever pay attention to it because I never get to go to it.

5) What is the best way to stay warm in the winter?
Lots of blankets and fuzzy socks

============

Put together the Christmas menu for dinner on Christmas day. I did the Easter meal for me and Kim, but the ham is so much easier to prepare than a freakin' turkey!

But freakin' Colleen is like "oh we should do it because you have the turkey in the freezer" So now I've spent all this extra money getting a roaster pan, additional vegetables to put in with the turkey while it cooks, and a freakin' instant-read thermometer...basically stuff that I couldn't purchase with my EBT funds because they weren't food items but somehow my turkey roaster bags were covered? I'm confused.

So I've dipped into my fund that I had to get my hair done to buy these things...so I need to quick like sell some Color Street to make that money back before December 18 because I am not canceling my appointment.
