Swiss Bliss

One thing that never makes me happy about winter is the lack of daylight during these upcoming months. I think the sun set yesterday at 4:58! This year, instead of just complaining and lapsing into my winter blues mode, I'm planning on doing a few things differently. For starters, I'm looking into getting one of those light therapy lamps.  I'm also going to embrace the "fake it until you make it" attitude towards winter, and see if I can find ways to "warm" up to this dark, cold season. Admiring this cozy, rustic chic hideaway in the Swiss Alps seems a good a start as any...(have any of you ever used one of these lights? are some better than others? and, why are they all so unattractive?)
