Winter talking meme - Jan 05-07 - things you find comforting

So back in December I posted a list of dates for a Winter talking meme, promising to post at least 100 words about whatever topic someone requested during a given 3-day period (instead of the usual specific day), because I knew I couldn't be relied upon to actually meet a deadline as targeted as a single day.

Apparently I can't meet deadlines of three-day blocks, either?

So here, just over a month late, is @sami's request/prompt: What things you find most comforting (that you're comfortable talking about).
