   Though winter solstice is soon so it won't get much shorter than that.

2. Food you eat this time of year that you may not during the others seasons.
   Carrot and rutabaga casseroles (Though I prefer my carrot casserole without rice, it makes it dry).

   None. I don't do take-outs in general (exception makes the rule).

4. Do you drink anything different in your coffee this time of year? (flavorings etc.)
   Maybe I put more sugar to it, nothing else.

   Yes, at least last time I tried... which was about 17 years ago. I hate ice skating.

   Hurt? Why?

    Which has to do with some other season? Nothing.
