Pros (IMO):
-Better for exercising outdoors
-Easier to sleep because less daylight
-Holiday season
-I live in GA so the few inches of snow we get are usually pleasant
Cons (IMO):
-Easier to get sick
-Windy
-Lack of daylight means you get less done during the day
-Chapped lips and skin (b/c of the wind)
So answering the question, I do enjoy winter but not as much as summer which is my favorite season. I think if I didn't experience a change of seasons, I would grow old of the same weather.
I like winter, but hate DST. I'd rather have it dark in the morning and light in the evenings. Now the sun sets at 4:45pm or so and dropping.
Yeah, I'd rather even have it dark all the way to 10am or so, and then have evenings longer.
In December in Chicago Sunrise is around ~7am, while Sunset is ~4:20 p.m. I'd much rather have it sunrise at 10am, Sunset at 7:20p.m. Even if they left it alone entirely, much better at 8am and 5:20 ...
I love winter, and sadly I live in a place where winter is considered 65F, which in Oregon would be considered picnic weather.
I hope to get out of here and move some place with actual seasons.
I absolutely LOVE Winter. At least the winters up here in the PNW. Sure, it's cold, grey, and rains constantly... but that's why I love it. People think I'm weird, I could care less. I lived in the desert for a decade and they can keep that climate. I'm way over it. I'll take 5-6 months of cold, wet, grey skies over 5-6 months of dusty blast furnace conditions any day. The weather was one of the main reasons I moved to this part of the country.
However, I don't think I could deal with Great Lakes-level winters. I've been to Minnesota in February before, where the mercury doesn't ever go above zero for weeks on end, and that was a bit brutal.

I get not loving winter but I don't get loving summer as your favorite season.....in Georgia! That's like me -- a former Minnesotan -- loving winter as my favorite season and saying that summer can be too hot and sticky at times.
