Winter

Good grief! It depends somewhat on your opinion, but WHO STARTED THE
POPULAR ASSOCIATION WITH WINTER BEING DEPRESSING??? It's not!!! Winter
is one of the best times of year. I appreciate Narnia for its symbolism
and archetypes, but the whole "always winter and never Christmas" would
be bad any time of year. Period. It's BORING to have no seasons.
Spring's rebirth would get old after awhile. Summer's heat would drown
people in their sweat after not too much. Autumn's winds and harvests
would drive one nuts (no pun intended) if it never ended. WHAT'S WITH
WINTER? Everything's asleep! It's a wonderful, lazy quiet time of year.
Time to think.

Of course, if you have enough books, you can outweather quite a few
boring events...
