Winter Scenes That Make The Cold Weather Seem Not So Bad (PHOTOS)

The cold is really settling in and it’s been really hard to appreciate the winter, especially when we wake up in the morning and it still looks like midnight out. But when we take a moment to take it all in, we really do love the snowy, crisp weather. There are so many fun activities we can do during the season and we secretly love the fact that we can spend a Friday night cuddled up on the couch without feeling like we should be out and about. So we’ve rounded up photos of
beautiful winter scenes to remind us just how wonderful the ice and snow

Sex Scenes On TV: A Supercut Of The Most Awkward, Kinky Moments Of 2012 (NSFW VIDEO)

WARNING: This video is not safe for work nor is it intended for those under the age of 18.

It's been a very kinky year for TV.

The introduction of "Girls" set a high bar for awkward, explicit sex scenes, but many other series pushed the boundaries as well in 2012.

We've watched TV characters do it in the back of a car on top of a sandwich and atop a Westeros-themed Risk table. Characters have been moved to spontaneous bouts of masturbation and toe-sucking. Poor Sally Draper walked in on her step-grandma going down on Roger Sterling and poor Saul Berenson had to listen to Carrie and Brody do it, all for the sake of the country. And thanks to "The Good Wife," we'll never look at vanilla ice cream cones the same way.

HuffPost TV fired up a supercut the TV sex scenes that made cringe and laugh uncomfortably in 2012. From "Mad Men" to "American Horror Story: Asylum," "Game of Thrones" to "Homeland," enjoy some of the most awkward sex scenes TV had to offer this year.

Nora Ephron, Remembered In Her Holiday Scenes (MASHUP)

In Nora Ephron's 1998 film "You've Got Mail," Kathleen Kelly, the protagonist, describes decorating her Christmas tree and missing her mother "so much I almost couldn't breathe."

We felt that way about Nora Ephron the day she died, and we've missed her since.

The numerous tributes to the beloved writer, screenwriter and director since her death on June 26, 2012 show how many lives she touched -- from those who gathered around her dinner table to members of the HuffPost family, from Lena Dunham, whose New Yorker essay on Nora was one of our favorite pieces of writing published in 2012, to women around the world who watched her movies and recognized that Nora understood women. She wrote female characters who were imperfect and smart and worried and hardworking and exuberant and frustrated and funny, and they got the guy usually because they were multifaceted and imperfect.

In the mashup above we collected some of our favorite holiday scenes from films Nora Ephron wrote and, in many cases, directed. Every one of them reminds us of her incredible talent and what a gift her work was to all of us, and we've watched them over and over again during the last couple of weeks. To paraphrase another statement Meg Ryan's character makes in "You've Got Mail," we'll probably always miss Nora at Christmas, but it's worse this year.
