Oh, how I’ve missed you

Now I am aware that a lot of people do not like winter, but for the people that love it, you have a special place in my heart. So here are a few reasons why everyone should put their hatred for winter aside, and enjoy it.

1. It’s Cold, Bundle up!

Okay so maybe the weather being -1 degree and your pipes being frozen is kind of horrible BUT, what a great excuse to bundle up at home with your family and watch a nice movie. It could be a Christmas movie, or just a good movie. Imagine spending the day at home with your family? Woah!

2. Layers!

This alone makes winter significantly better than other seasons. Fall is a close second because who wouldn’t want to just walk outside in a sweatshirt and a pair of leggings and be comfortable? Winter requires maybe two pairs of pants and three shirts, on top of a scarf hat, and gloves. But everyone else is wearing just as many layers as you are!

3. Holidays

Even though everyone doesn’t celebrate the same holidays, holidays are worth the cold. Due to mass amounts of people stuffing their faces and being too cold to go to the gym, it seems like the whole region, is in human hibernation. Nobody is worried about having a ‘beach body’ or looking good because there are no tight clothes and no one judges you for what you’re wearing because their only concern is staying warm.

4. Decorations

You cannot deny that driving down a street full of Christmas lights and animals in Santa hats does not light up your day. Seeing the joy in children’s faces as you explain how holidays work can bring the spirit of the holidays in any cold heart.

5. New Year

As cliché as it sounds, a new year begins and you can change. “New year, new me.” Even though it would be okay someone to just wake up and look at their flaws and decide to make a change, the idea of a new year encourages people to look at their life and reevaluate.

6. Snow

It’s cold and it gets everywhere BUT it’s pretty and looking out, seeing a sheet of white clean snow is one of the most beautiful things in the whole world. There are cute videos of dogs and kids playing and you can make snow angels and the good totally out-weighs the bad.

7. No School

Now depending on if you are a parent or a child, this can be interpreted differently. If you’re a parent, you get however long break is to spend quality time with your kids, take them away, play with them, get to know how they are, and then by the time you’re sick of them, they have to go back to school. If you’re a kid, sleep in, hang out with your friends and get to know who your parents are and enjoy break while it lasts because unfortunately, it doesn’t last forever.

Enjoy the season you are in and choose to look on the bright side because winter comes every year no matter how much you hate it. Bundle up and Have fun!
