Favorite Winter Activity

Ruth Logan Herne
Writing, writing, writing.

Donna Alward
Reading and watching movies while drinking hot cocoa/wine/tea.

Laura Trentham
I used to love to ski, but kids...amiright? Plus, the older I get the more I worry about actually hurting myself! Now, I enjoy huddling by a fire and reading (shocker, I know:)

Nancy Naigle
Snuggling in front of the TV watching Hallmark channel, and Christmas movies.

Margaret Brownley
Sitting in front of the fire with a cup of tea and a good book.

Tara Wyatt
I'm Canadian, so it takes a lot to keep me inside. I love a good, snowy walk, then curling up with hot chocolate and a good book.

Opal Carew
Tobogganing.

Emily March
Cuddling in front of the fire at the lake house in my heated slippers reading a romance novel. :)

Melissa Cutler
Well, I live in sunny San Diego, and I'm not a fan of snow, so I don't go on ski trips or anything. My favorite winter activity is going to the beach. I love the cold sand and the colors of the water in winter. The beach just feels different at that time of year.

Mandy Baxter
I tend to want to stay inside during the winter. We're usually buried in snow! But if I'm forced to go out, I like to downhill ski and snowshoe.
