What's your reason to be cheerful?

Fed up of financial doom and gloom, end-of-the-world predictions, falling house prices and dire weather reports? So are the editorial team at iVillage.co.uk. We've had enough of misery, it's time to get happy! We want to know, what puts a smile on your face?

Check out these reasons to look on the bright side of life:

• George Bush has only a matter of days left in the White House
• 2 for 1 offers abound in restaurants
• Winter chic! It's time to dig out those lovely chunky knits, fur-lined boots, hats and gloves stashed in your wardrobe. So much more fun than summer because you still get to flaunt your stuff but hide your wobbly bits
• British sport is on the up - the football team are on a winning streak, the great GB Olympic medal haul is still worth celebrating and Andy Murray and Lewis Hamilton are blazing a trail
• It's the perfect time of year to cuddle up on the sofa under a blanket and work your way through a box set
• Red wine, mulled wine and vin chaud!
• Dogs wearing coats - it's odd and kind of wrong, but always looks funny!
• It's nearly Christmas!
