Winter is here

And thus December has rolled in..
Winter's here..
Winter conjures up different emotions in different people.While some see winter as an enjoyable affair(with picnics and fairs;with the mesmerizing taste of oranges)others,including poets take a less sombre view..
Poets have a habit of perceiving things minutely and attaching a significant amount of personification to it.Thus,winter is personified to something withering away,to the cold sweep of the frost which'll disrupt life wherever be it's path.
But,I would differ a bit from that.My take on Winter would be inspired from T.S.Eliot's "The Waste Land", where he writes:
"Winter kept us warm,
Covering the earth in forgetful snow"
Thus,a particular warmth winter has.This warmth is the warmth of forgetfulness,the warmth even associated with coldness,this warmth comes bundled with the joy of the season..

Seasons greetings to all!
Peace!
