I do hate the clock change - would rather eke out the daylight in the evenings, than in the mornings, when I'm either asleep, or in a zombie-state where I would barely notice the difference. (Mornings are not, and never have been, my strong point...)
There are things I like about the winter - and I do hope our chimney is OK in the new house so we can have coal fires, will be lovely! But I *hate* being cold, and then I get too over-heated with the heating on; whereas, in the summer, I seem to be magically the right temperature all the time. I'm not a big fan of Christmas, the over-long buildup period drives me nuts, and all the Christmas stuff in the shops already - it's OCTOBER!! And perfume ads on the TV already, and all that nonsense... sigh... On the other hand, I like going through the seasons and would find a tropical climate monotonous, I think.
