Winter weather can be cold and gloomy, but that does not mean you have to stay inside. There are many things you can do out and enjoy in the cold weather.

You can go out to the mall and do some shopping. Most malls have a movie theater which is another great thing to do in cold weather. Some outside things you can do are build a snowman or play in the snow if it snows. You can also even go see Christmas lights near Christmas which is always fun.

Shopping is such a enjoyable thing. Everyone needs a little retail therapy every so enough. Getting out in the cold can be not fun. You can make it enjoyable by doing things you enjoy. Shopping is fun when you find great deals. It is also very fun when you shop for someone else.

My favorite time for shopping is around Christmas. I enjoy shopping for other people so much better. It is so fun shopping for other people, then watching them open the present on Christmas. It makes you feel so good when you know someone enjoys and likes their gift you gave them.

Build A Snowman

Playing in the snow is such fun in the cold weather. You might only get snow once every couple of years, so when you get it you enjoy it. Being outside with family, enjoying the snow is so fun. Most people do not get snow every enough so if you get to enjoy it you are lucky.

You get to enjoy the snow by building a snowman. Also, many families have snow ball fights which are so much fun. You can also sled in the snow if you have enough snow. The snow is very cold but can still be a very fun thing to enjoy. Do not be afraid of getting cold because playing in the snow is worth it.

Hosting a bonfire is so much fun. It is a time just to relax and hang out with friends and family. Gathering around a fire is just so relaxing and chill. You can eat good food, enjoy a fire, and hang with friends. Most people enjoy having gathering around a fire because you can socialize easier than going out somewhere.

Having a bonfire is fun. You can sit beside the fire and just talk about everything. You can roast marshmallows on the fire to make a good s'more. Bonfires are such a good party and hosting event you might smell like smoke after but it is so worth the relaxing time hanging with friends.

Movie Night

Cold weather can make you not wont to go outside, but do not let it stop you from enjoying things. Going to the movies is such a good thing to do in cold weather. It is a good idea because you are inside in the warm. Movies are a good thing to enjoy as a family. You might not talk during a movie but being around family is what matters.

Movies are actually really fun to go to. You get to sit in really comfortable seats, and watch the movie you have been waiting on on a huge screen. Watching a movie in a theater than at home is so much different. You get comfortable seats, good popcorn, and a big screen to enjoy the movie.

Christmas Lights

Decorating your house for Christmas has also become very popular. Most families decorate their house every year. It is just so festive to have the Christmas spirit all over your house. Christmas lights are so fun to go watch. They for sure put you in the Christmas spirit.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her.
