One Cold Season

Author’s Note: I have decided to write a piece about my favorite season, winter. I wrote about winter because it may be spring outside, it still feels like winter. Throughout this piece I worked on my comma usage with fanboys, since it was a goal of mine.

One particular season people complain most about is winter. This season is a very peculiar season not knowing what the weather could be like. One day there could be snow falling on the sky, but the next day the sun is shining. Winter is complained about because of the weather and especially snow. I always enjoyed snow when I was younger and still do. I still wish for snow days and probably always will. I will set a spoon under your pillow, flush ice cubes down the toilet, or sleep with my pajamas inside out just wishing for snow days. I enjoy snow but it is dangerous to drive in and easy to slip on.Winter may be something people complain about, it is also a season they can not resist.

Snow is a big part of winter. Without snow , winter would not be the same. Everywhere you look, ice crystals, snow, or  ice sparkling. Snow is an interesting thing; it is water but colder and frozen. The reason water turns into snow is because when the temperature is 32 degrees or below, water freezes and then becomes snow. It is just a magical thing to see floating down from the sky and try catching it in your mouth. One of my favorite memories with snow is having a snowball fight with your neighbors or even making a snowman with your family. Snow is a very wonderful thing, but everything has its ups and downs. If there was a huge blizzard or the snow has stuck to the ground, you would have to go out and shovel your driveway. I truly love snow and without it, I don't even know if winter would be winter.

Even though snow is a big part of winter, so are the holidays. During the winter season we celebrate Christmas, New Years, and St. Patrick's Day. These holidays are the three main ones people celebrate. To me, Christmas is something people correlate with winter. Every year people say they want a white Christmas, but many years it does not happen, as temperatures are too warm. Also, during Christmas you can sit around the cozy fire place in footie pajamas sipping a warm hot chocolate. Although, Christmas is important to winter so are New Years and St. Patrick's Day.

Furthermore New Years is celebrated throughout the entire world along with St. Patrick's Day. During New Years almost all of the U.S.A is sitting around their homes waiting for the ball to drop in Times Square. Sometimes at midnight I run around my house banging pots and pans; then coming in with ruby red cheeks and chattering teeth. When you come back in to your house, you could look outside and see your footprints in the glistening, pure white teeth colored snow. Only on some St. Patrick's Days can you see your footprints. Even though snow might not be on the ground, the weather proves the temperature in winter. Walking around the streets on St. Patrick's Day seeing snug winter coats, yet wearing green. Winter is one of the longest seasons in Wisconsin, yet one of the most national. From snow to the holidays there is something about winter people can not resist.
