"Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle All The Way!” 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 other siblings 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. Every year I go Christmas caroling with my family and some random other carolers. We always go in this big horse sled in Anchorage. It’s always a huge blast. But of course my

    There are a million things Duo loves about the snow. The way it gets stuck in your hair or tickles your nose. You can pack it up and have a snowball fight. You can lay in it and make a snow angel. The flurry wistfulness when the wind throws the snow around, right before a snowstorm.…

    Moving: North vs. South

    Let’s stay up North for a while and discover all it may have to offer. The snowy climate may be ideal for some people, but it’s not for me. You have to wear a layer of long johns and jeans, sweater, coat, hat and gloves to go brave the cold. It’s a very long winter season which is cold, wet and inconvenient to travel around in. There can be days and weeks on end where you may not get a glimpse of the sun at all. People use tanning beds to get a tan. Snow storms can be common in this area. The roads can be slippery and sometimes there can be travel bans because of the danger of road conditions. You are constantly hearing snow plows going by salting the roads. When the salt melts the snow, it gets very slushy and the salt gets on your vehicles and causes them to rust. If you enjoy the cold weather, you may enjoy some of the many activities that the Northern areas have to offer. There are plenty of ski resorts that offer everything from skiing to snowboarding to tubing. Most of these lodges also offer a warm lodge to get hot chocolate or a bite to eat, and a lounge for those who may like to have a cocktail. You may prefer to go sledding or build a snow man. Some people even go winter camping and hike with snowshoes. I personally enjoy riding snowmobiles with my family and friends. There’s nothing quite like riding the trails after they have been groomed.…

    The holiday tradition for christmas in my family starts on Christmas eve, since I have little brother and sisters we bake cookies for santa and set the milk out and we even put reindoor food out! (It's glitter and trail mix) When me and my siblings have finally fell asleep, my parents put out nthe gifts they don't wrap the ones from santa so it looks more realistic! Anyways, early in the morning we wake up and see the gifts from santa, then we open the ones from our parents. After our presents have been opened and the mess from all the wrapping paper and open boxes are cleaned up we go to the waffle house and chow down! Then we get together with our whole family and have christmas dinner and exchange presents. I love christmas with my family, not only because of the gifts but because we don't get together as much as we should!…

    As I glide across the snow feeling the cool crisp wind running through my coat. My dad and I always go up north once a year to go snowmobiling. Preparing for our snowmobile trip took forever. We always over packed and brought everything from sleeping bags, food, clothing, and gas for ourselves and snowmobiles, but when we were finished we hit the road. My dad drove in one truck with the snowmobiles and I drove in another truck hauling our camper for the three hour drive. That year was going to be different I knew it; we got more snow than we had in over 5 years.…

    For many people. the months December through February create a vision of happiness and holiday cheer. The thought of all the warm Christmas cookies you and your mom would make, or the pine sweet smell of your just brought home tree, you, already prepared with your basket of ornaments, dusty from being in your basement all year long. The hope of a new year, of new beginnings, of fresh snow, and coming inside from the cold to sit by the burning fire with your favorite book. Thinking of these months can stir up a great deal of memories, and for many, these memories are wonderful. For myself, they always have been. December was a symbol of happiness for me. My family would travel to come to St. Louis, we would routinely follow Christmas traditions from years before, and love was widely spread. However, last December morphed this tremendous enjoyment I got out of these winter months.…

    This morning, we were surprised to find seven inches of fresh snow. It is much too early for all of this, and my heart rate is still coming down from the struggle of finding hats, snowpants, and matching mittens for each of my children before sending them out the door for school. As much as I would like to deny it, winter is on its way.…

    Well, lets see, its 2:24 right now so I could get my bag packed with all the necessary gear, and then I could bike there and be right in time. I was packing my Camel Back bag with snow pants, a winter jacket, and a foldable sled. I packed all that up in about two minutes, then hopped on my bike right away. I had to ride over on my brothers bike because my tires we worn out and popped. Each and every snowflake was so clear and beautiful. They were flooding the streets and sidewalks and roofs of houses. When I was even younger than I am right now, it was hard to appreciate the beauty that came with every…

    I have listed two good reasons why I like Christmas above all holidays, but the main reason actually is because of the family. See most people have family all over the place so when the holiday comes around they all meet up and they all get full of joy for being able to finally see them again. Another reason why spending time with the family is the best is because you get to hear all of those great stories they tell. These are the main reasons why I like…
