Where's your Winter Wonderland?

Winter is perhaps one of my favorite season. I love the cold wintry snow days, snuggling in my warm cozy apartment in New York City, drinking peppermint hot chocolate watching reruns of my childhood's video with my parents playing at Rhône River in Lyon, France.
Especially when the New York Central Park is covered with snow, I love walking on the snow and listening to every crunch from my winter boots and stop for a brief moment in the stillness of the winter to watch a flock of Black-capped Chickadees looking for food among the snow-covered branches. I think they are the cutest winter birds.
After a long walk at the park, I love to hangout at NYC's Croissanteria and enjoy the Raisin Swirl and my favorite salad, La Petite Palette, with Prosciutto, Salami, dotted with Mixed Olives and my favorite cheese of all, the Camembert originated from Normandy, France served with a side of sliced French Baguette and Fig Jam.
During weekends, my favorite ski resort closest to NYC is the Bristol Mountain but I do enjoy higher slopes in the Rockies with my friends. Speaking of skiing and this winter season in full swing, so where's your Winter Wonderland for those skiiers out there.
Although not all of us are into skiing, it may not even be a place, per se, it could be a memory of the place and people you were with. It could be the state of mind. A place of bliss that makes you feel happy, beautiful and solace . . . We all have but a brief sojourn in this earth and all of us are in search of that Winter Wonderland or Wonderland for those living in the Tropics.
We have produced this short video sprinkled with inspiring quotes from different sources to ponder on. As Marie B. Ray wrote, "We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake.
