Winter

Do you like winter?  I know I do!  In the winter season there are many holidays to celebrate.  If you get hungry there are a lot of food and drinks to choose from.  In addition, if you get bored you can turn on the television and watch the electrifying winter sports. 

During the winter season, Christmas comes along.  Ho, ho, ho.  One of my favorite things about Christmas is to go and get the magnificent Christmas tree.  People all around the world go to a tree farm and buy a Christmas tree.  Some tree farms will even let you cut the tree down on your own.  Once you have put up the tree, then you can put the ornaments and lights on it.  Now that the tree has been decorated you can put the presents all around it.  Finally, once all of the hard work is done, many people enjoy having a party during the Christmas season. 

When it gets cold have a hot winter beverage.  Hot apple cider is a delightful hot drink for the winter season.  Hot chocolate is stunning and sweet and made with either dark or regular chocolate.  Don’t forget to put some marshmallows in it.  Winter is not the same without smores.   This food has multiple layers of good sensation.  Ever wonder where the gingerbread man lives?  A gingerbread house!  You can decorate the house with all sorts of different candies. 

Ever wonder what keeps you occupied during the winter?  Sports are a large part of the winter months.  Ever think of sliding down a gigantic mountain with two skis attached to your feet?  This sport is referred to as skiing.  Speaking about two skis, snowboarding is also a popular winter activity.  When you snowboard, you are sized to a specific mountain for your age.  Hockey is where you have ice skates on your feet so you can skate across the ice rink.  There is a black puck that you must strike with the stick in order to advance the puck to the goal which is protected by a goaltender.  In addition, basketball is an indoor sport that has no impact due to the cold weather.  In this sport the player dribbles the ball up and down the court in order to score a basket.  The player must try to score against the defensive player called a guard. 


Winter is a such an electrifying season because there are so many ways to celebrate it and sharing it with family and friends.  Even when you put up a Christmas tree or sitting down for a meal also enjoy the magnificent winter sports it will always be proposed as stunning season.
