Summer is a promissory note signed in June, its long days spent and gone before you know it, and due to be repaid next January.
January always brought me down
All the magic of December
Is like a circus leaving town
All I wanna do is to follow it around
Cause everybody wishes it was Christmas all year 'round

1My old grandmother always used to say, Summer friends will melt away like summer snows, but winter friends are friends forever.
George R. R. Martin in A Song of Ice and Fire - A Feast for Crows
Wisdom comes with winters.
In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.
Winter is a season of recovery and preparation.
There is no winter without snow, no spring without sunshine, and no happiness without companions.
The fire is winter's fruit.
The quiet transition from autumn to winter is not a bad time at all. It's a time for protecting and securing things and for making sure you've got in as many supplies as you can. It's nice to gather together everything you possess as close to you as possible, to store up your warmth and your thoughts and burrow yourself into a deep hole inside, a core of safety where you can defend what is important and precious and your very own. Then the cold and the storms and the darkness can do their worst. They can grope their way up the walls looking for a way in, but they won't find one, everything is shut, and you sit inside, laughing in your warmth and your solitude, for you have had foresight.
Tove Jansson - Moominvalley in November
What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness?
In the cold of winter, we recognize the power of stillness. The earth rests as frost suspends time. May the silence of snow enlighten our hearts, reminding us that in winter, the seed of hope also rests.
Winter blankets the world in a quilt of snow. In the silence of snowfall, hearts find peace. The cold embraces us as we find comfort in the warmth of community. In frosty nights, stars shine like memories, reminding us of life's beauty.
In the winter's time, the world turns white,
Frost conjures a sparkling sight.
Snowflakes dance, gentle and light,
In this silence, the night takes flight.
Breath becomes visible, the cold so clear,
A winter's tale, wonderfully near.
Trees wear a gown of frost so fine,
Winter envelops the world, divine.
Frost conjures a sparkling sight.
Snowflakes dance, gentle and light,
In this silence, the night takes flight.
Breath becomes visible, the cold so clear,
A winter's tale, wonderfully near.
Trees wear a gown of frost so fine,
Winter envelops the world, divine.

Nothing burns like the cold.
If we could have a January for once that doesn't feel like it's lasting for ten years, that'd be great.
If I had my way, I'd remove January from the calendar altogether and have an extra July instead.
When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives.

3December is a gentle reminder for not having done a single thing from your new year resolutions for eleven months and aren't doing any this one either.
December is the toughest month of the year. Others are July, January, September, April, November, May, March, June, October, August, and February.
God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December.
When God understand that only the best go skiing, he created football for the rest.
"Oh man, what a year it was!"
"Dude, it's the middle of February."
"Dude, it's the middle of February."
Pale is the February sky,
And brief the mid-day's sunny hours;
The wind-swept forest seems to sigh
For the sweet time of leaves and flowers.
And brief the mid-day's sunny hours;
The wind-swept forest seems to sigh
For the sweet time of leaves and flowers.

Summer romances end for all kinds of reasons. But when all is said and done, they have one thing in common: They are shooting stars-a spectacular moment of light in the heavens, a fleeting glimpse of eternity. And in a flash, they're gone.
And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.
The world is full of magic. Small things become big. Winter turns to spring. One thing always changes into another.
Denahi in Brother Bear
6Nearly everybody gets twitterpated in the springtime. For example, you're walking along minding your own business, you're looking neither to the left, nor to the right, when all of the sudden, you run smack into a pretty face. You begin to get weak in the knees, your head's in a whirl! And then you feel light as feather, and before you know it you're walking on air! And then you know what? You're knocked for a loop! And you completely lose your head!
Friend Owl in Bambi
8Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
Life is too short to learn German.

3Spring is coming, but the air is chilled
It reminds me of the winter fires we would always build
Hiding from the cold is always warmer in your arms
Whenever you are kissing me, it is Christmas in my heart
It reminds me of the winter fires we would always build
Hiding from the cold is always warmer in your arms
Whenever you are kissing me, it is Christmas in my heart

1For it is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas, when its mighty Founder was a child Himself.
