Winter is the time of year when it is cold and the thought of a blanket and book are welcomed. Holidays seem right around the corner. Snow days full of fun are dreamt of. The smell of hot chocolate and sweets fill the kitchen. The weather is cold and the thought of snow is in every little kid’s mind. Gloves, hats, and coats are pulled out of closets to keep the chill away. Decorations are put up in yards and houses. Excitement over the next holiday is in the air. Gifts are being bought and family members visit more often.
Snow is wished for by little kids. A snow day is the best thing they could think of in this cold weather. Coats, gloves, hats, and boots are all heaved out of the closets and pulled on in a rush to run and play. The fresh snow being trampled through and forts being built, snowballs prepared, and teams picked. Snowmen are built in the front yard for everyone to see. Snow angels are made with care to not ruin them. Coming inside to hot chocolate and whatever dessert your mom had made.
Staying inside on a cold windy day and playing a board game with someone can create a memory that can last years. Curling and reading a book can be a peaceful way to let a cold afternoon go by. Creating memories with loved ones while the cold winter weather outside storms on.
The Christmas lights put up outside glitter in the night. The tree is put up and the family decorates it with all the ornaments and tinsel. Family members visit to see you before the holidays. The anticipation of the next holiday builds up.
Winter is about family, joy, and laughter. The cold weather is not the most fun, but it is possible to make it. These cold months are a good time to get close to loved ones, to show them that you care and are there for them.
