You are very right. This time of year can be fantastic if you do it properly. My former housemates in Dublin did wintertime brilliantly, candles and blankets and port and a fire and hot drinks with spirits in and so on. Clearly I need to surround myself with more things which are squashy, alcoholic or on fire.
There's a lot to be said for making an effort at the seasons thing. I've had whole summers disappear unnoticed while I sat in almost windowless computer labs, too.
