The December Diaries: How To Survive A Dry Winter

Happy December! The month where it’s merry and joyful (i hope). You might be wondering what the hell this December thing is about. Well, I really wanted to do something for the festive month so here it is!

Honestly, I have no clue what I will be posting but just so you know, it’s spontaneous. But in a Christmas way. There will be some basic stuff, which I’m very excited to write, such as Christmas gift ideas, music, and clothes, and blah blah blah.

So for day one, I wanted to give y’all an insight on what it’s like to live in a place where the winter is dry af. I’m very proud to say I have survived this dry ass winter for 3 consecutive years but with pain.

The city lies at 47°N and is in the middle of a landmass. Which makes it dry and the winter..oh god. It is a pain in the ass. I could wear layers of trousers and still feel the scary scary cold breeze go through them.

Not to mention that December and January is the peak coldest months, I can’t even spend the holidays in peace because I’m too busy trying to make myself warm. So finally, here are things you can do if you also live in a place where the winter is so damn cold.

  1. Be warm: Wear the thickest coats you have, big fat scarves and cozy hats. The last thing you want is to have your head freezing. Heard it’s super unhealthy. And honestly, I hate wearing big fat clothes but you gotta be healthy!
  1. Remember it’s windy: Turtlenecks will probably be your best friend.
  2. Hot drinks baby: Be it coffee, hot cocoa, a hot drink will save you.
  3. Stay at home: Unless you have school or work, if it’s -30 degrees outside then, I totally advise you to stay at home in your PJs.

Until next December Diary,

A cold nobody.
