Winter: Nativity of Jesus and Jingle Bells

"Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle All The Way!" sings the Christmas carolers. It's my favorite time of the year. This season seems like it goes by the fastest and it has more events going on during it than any other season of the year. I love the hustle and the bustle of Christmas time. There's lots of holidays and there's even more days off of school. To top it off, there's snow! It's by far the best season.

The snow and the cold make up the unpredictable winter weather. Every morning is a new surprise because you don't know what the weather will be like. I love that feeling because the same thing doesn't happen everyday. The cold is so much more comfortable for me and I don't have to worry about sweating or getting dehydrated. The snow is fun and it makes beautiful scenery too!

The snow brings an endless supply of fun. My friends and I all bring our sleds to the big hills in my neighborhood. We zoom down them and race to see who goes the fastest. Then, just as the sun goes down, we all get ready for battle. Everyone gets into position and stays hidden. The game is on. Each person scoops up snow, forms it into balls, and acts like a secret agent. We all creep up on the others to ambush them. It's fun that you can only get this time of the year.

Christmas break is the longest break during the school year. It's a time to sleep in and relax all day long. Not going to school is the very best part. Instead of doing work all day, I get to stay home, watch TV, and play with my friends. For a couple of days, I stay over at my grandparent's house. My grandpa always takes me and my brother to the movie theater once or twice. We enjoy getting spoiled by our loving Grandma and Grandpa. When we get back we spend our time hanging out with our friends.

Christmas is the climax of winter. I love going to church to hear about the birth of Jesus. Every year I go Christmas caroling with my youth group at church. We don't do it the normal way though. We have a list of things that we need to do like singing the songs in a cheerleader pyramid. I love this zany version of caroling. My church always has a humorous Christmas play that we do, telling the Christmas story in a new way each year. I like the giving of presents on Christmas morning, but I really love to get them.

Winter is the best season. The games, snow, relaxation, Christmas stories, and presents all make up the most wonderful time of the year! They all seem to come to my mind whenever think of winter. All these reasons are why I think winter is amazing.
