The Different Seasons
As a new season approaches we all get excited and ready for a new change. Winter and summer are two very different seasons but also have similar characteristics. When winter comes around, everyone gets out their scarfs, boots, and warm clothes to get ready for the cold. In the winter, we get excited for snow and of course Christmas. Everyone enjoys Christmas and celebrating the holidays with family and friends. It’s almost like everyone hibernates in their homes because no one wants to go out in the cold or drive anywhere. It also gets dark very early so there’s not much time to be outside. Instead we might sit inside, cuddled up in a blanket, trying to get warm and watch a movie. I find myself not going out as much in the winter time and I can get very bored sitting in my house all night. If we get snow, it’s always fun to play outside in the snow or go snowmobiling. That’s if you don’t mind freezing and most likely going inside after an hour because you’re so cold. When I think of winter, I think of that feeling where you are so cold that you can barely feel your hands and your ears feel like they’re going to fall off. I think of hot chocolate and Christmas cookies. The worst part about winter would be shoveling the snow that builds up in your driveway and being cold. The best part is the holiday spirit that takes place for Christmas and New Year’s. When winter is finally over and it starts to get nice out again, everybody gets excited for summer where you have no school and you can stay out all night making memories with your friends. Usually summer is also very exciting because lots of families go on vacations in the summer which is always something people look forward too. Everyone loves the nice weather where you can sit outside all day and enjoy the sun. I feel as if people can never get bored in the summer because there’s always something to do whether it’s tanning, swimming, tubing, fishing, or just being outside all day because it’s so nice out. Also, picnics, Fourth of July, and barbecues are the great things about summer. When I think of summer, I think of being tan and wearing flip-flops and shorts. I think of people having fun and living their life. The worst thing about summer is the days when it gets so hot that you feel like you can’t do anything but sit inside and stay in the air conditioning. The best part is the nice weather and the freedom to do fun things because school is out and you can enjoy the summer off. As you can see, people can enjoy the different seasons because both winter and summer have good characteristics about them. They are similar because they both have holidays that are celebrated and outdoor activities that take place. I prefer summer over winter. I would rather it be hot then cold because I love being outside all the time keeping busy. In the winter, I get bored and find myself to become lazy because it’s so cold out that I don’t feel like doing anything. I love tanning in the summer and absolutely hate being so pale in the winter. I would rather wear flip-flops and shorts then winter jackets and boots every day. I love summer because it’s a time where I always make new memories that I will always remember. Summer is also my favorite season because my birthday is in the summer which is something I always look forward to. My day in the summer would consist of no school, hanging with friends, swimming, tanning, and enjoying the nice weather where in the winter my day would be less fun and much more boring. Both seasons have nice things about them but summer would be the season that I enjoy the most and like better.
