To be honest, nothing sounds better than thinking about being on hot beaches with cold drinks right now.
As January payday finally approaches, it sounds like the perfect excuse to us to get something booked.
But where will you go, I wonder? Take a look below and get some inspiration...
As the nights ever so slowly grow longer, many of us around the country are dreaming of a holiday to get away from the bleakness of the next few months, if only for a while.
Usually this involves a bit of winter sun, perhaps a beach, certainly some good food. Well look no further, because this island has been dubbed the 'Hawaii of Europe' and it's a stone's throw from Ireland.
The place has it all, incredible wildlife, brilliant food, stunning beaches - the lot.
And there's also a certain famous footballer who hails from the island who you may have heard of.
The island of Madeira, located just off the coast of Morocco, is a Portuguese island, is a veritable paradise for those looking for some winter sun.
Funchal, the capital, boasts some of the best local cuisine, and the island is known the world over for its fortified wine.
It's not just for foodies though, if you like a beach holiday or would rather get up and go for a hike in the mountains, Madeira has you covered.
Madeira is a volcanic island with tonnes of beautiful walking routes.
And if you're worried about the weather, don't be. The island enjoys temperate climate all year long.
Sounds like the ideal winter hols spot to me.
