Winter

Winter’s probably the best season of the year. Most people are getting into the Christmas spirit. You’ll see a bunch of people making creations out of snow or slurping down hot beverages.
Can you believe that Christmas Day and Christmas Eve are two of the most popular days in December?! You get to see how well all your decorations turned out, after working so hard to put them up. Also, you get to watch Christmas movies and shows with your family. For some people, Christmas means going around caroling with friends and family. One thing that kids wait to hear every year is the sound of Santa and his reindeer.
Winter activities are very fun. For instance, most of my friends will gather for a giant snowball fight! It’s fun to hit people in the face with snowballs. Some people make snow forts in the winter. It’s easiest when it is sticky snow. My dad and I usually build snowmen together. The head is the hardest part. A lot of people spend their winter snowboarding or skiing, but I usually just stay at home. When I go to the mountains I choose to snowboard instead of ski.
Some foods/drinks people tend to eat or drink in the winter are very tasty. A lot of people drink hot coco after a long day playing in the snow. Most people drink eggnog as a treat in the winter. A lot of people suck on candy canes, or put them on their gingerbread houses. I’d say the most popular treat in winter is the gingerbread house.
Winter is one of the best seasons that many families enjoy together. It is a time for fun and spending time with friends and family. The snowball fights, food, and fun all add up to make a great time. This is why I love winter so much because it is the most enjoyable season of all.
