Enjoying the cold weather

I love both parts . Thats what makes winter special
- Right?
  “You like summer so much? Go stand on a blacktop fully clothed and tell me you love it.”
  No, winter is nice for the warmness in the face of the harsh environment, enjoying the coolness on walks/etc. Summer is nice because we have respite from it in the form of a/c and shade and cool water. The hotness sucks just like the coldness. Our ability to survive in those temperatures are intrinsically linked to our enjoyment of them.

My response, "You can always put on more layers, you can only take off so many."

people be like 'i love summer' and be swimming, wearing hats, using fans. no. stand out in the blistering sun till youre red. lets see

When it's too hot you aren't always able to get cooler.
When it's too cold it is always possible to get warmer. If only in a small way.
In the middle of winter you can put on another layer, wear fuzzy socks, drink a nice warm drink, hell even just blow into your hands. But in the middle of summer sometimes you just have to suffer.
I fucking love winter and no one can take that from me
- This is very dependent on where you live, and to an extent how rich you are. If you live somewhere where it occasionally gets a bit hot but it often gets so cold you need to spend a lot on heating then you probably prefer summer. Vice versa for somewhere so hot you need to pay for air conditioning.

Counterpoint: Try chilling in your living room under a heated blanket with some cozy socks on and sipping hot tea when its Summer.
