Winter
It's that time of year when the
blazing hot weather starts to slowly disappear.
Now comes that feeling like you're standing in the middle of the
Arctic. Do you think winter is the best
time of the year? Well, I do, and I hope
you do too.
Have you ever wondered if more
people prefer outdoor winter fun or indoor activities? In my opinion, most people would prefer going
outside instead of staying inside all day.
Some people like playing in the snow better than sipping scalding hot
cocoa with extra marshmallows. There are
so many winter sports and activities to do, like snowball fights, building
snowmen, making snow angels, skiing, snowboarding, sledding and
bobsledding. Of course, you can't forget
ice skating. Ice skating is my favorite
thing to do in the w inter. I find ice
skating fun just because you fall all the time and can watch other people fall. For me, ice skating is very complex. As soon as I step on the ice, I fall into a
split. It's a good thing that I can do a
split! Every time I take a step, even
though I'm holding onto something, I fall.
Eventually, 30 minutes later, I start to get the hang of it. But the best part of ice skating is getting
to spend time with friends and family.
You may think that winter is all
about going outside and having snowball fights, but to me, I think the best
part of winter is the food. I'm not a
big fan of going outside in the cold.
I'd rather be inside, cuddled under a blanket, drinking hot cocoa. The
peppermint smell drifting through the air means Christmas is
coming. I love to bake in the winter;
cookies and milk, sugar cookies, peanut butter cookies, gingerbread houses and
candy canes! You'll soon discover that,
whenever I bake for a party or for just a home dinner, I end up eating all the
sweet chocolate melting pastries. Don't
you think that making ginger bread houses is the most fun part of Christmas
time? It's incredible that the frosting
can hold the whole house together! I
find it funny that all of the little people are made out of cookies. It's hard to believe, but not a lot of people
make gingerbread houses anymore, but I do, every year.
"Thanks Mom," I
exclaimed. Finally, it's Christmas,
everyone knows what that means! PRESENTS!! I'm pretty sure that everyone agrees that
Christmas is their favorite holiday.
It's definitely mine. You should
have seen the look on my face when I got a dreamlight. Everyone was laughing for five minutes
straight. But the most important part of
Christmas is family, including spending more time with family members that you
don't see often or those you haven't met before. On Christmas
morning, you can smell all of the peppermint surrounding you. It's a great way to keep yourself happy and
cheerful and not cranky about the cold weather outside. As you peek around the corner, you notice
that all of the milk and cookies are gone.
Santa is real!
Winter is filled with excitement and
joy. There are so many fun things to do.
Bake, go outside, get ready for the holidays, the list never ends. Winter only comes once a year!
