I think you've got to have a strategy to get through winter.
Drinking.

Yep!
Actually, my strategy to get through this winter is indulging in elaborate neo-romantic goth fashion. Long skirts with ruffles, lace cravats, velvet everywhere. It seems to be working so far.
In short, cravats and shots for my friends.
my stagety for winter is hot beverages, books, and dvds. Long hours on the couch,which I just can't do when the sun is out.
Ryan has been introduced to the world of superheroes. His favourite is Spiderman. (His best friend at childcare is a Batman aficionado, going by the artwork on his backpack.) I decided to explore the question of what a superhero means to a three year old:
"Ryan, what does Spiderman do?"
"He kills naughty spiders."
Great responsibility indeed.

I'm with Allyson in finding the taking down of decorations depressing, but also kind of purging in a way. Starting the year and all that. My plan is take down next week, before my semester starts.
