February is a time for celebration around the world, from Setsubun in Japan to Carnaval in Brazil to the Blue Dragon Festival (Zhonghe) in China. If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s a time to embrace the cold, or at least, much cooler temperatures, when heartier meals and warm beverages soothe the soul. And with proper attire, winter sports offer a relief from the indoors and a chance to invigorate the body. Bursts of color such as seasonal citrus fruits and gorgeous sunsets remind us that spring is just around the corner.
Enjoy the season!
