Spring, summer, autumn, or winter—everyone has a preferred season. While each has its unique charm, is there truly one season that stands above the rest? Our choice is winter. After reading our top reasons for why winter is incredible, you might concur!

Snow Days

Can you recall the thrill of playing in the snow as a child? A break from school isn’t required to revel in a snow day. Relive your childhood! Engage in a snowball fight, try snowball target practice or snow sculpting, craft a snowman or a snow fort! Strolling through a local nature trail in winter can be quite fulfilling. If you stay quiet and observant, you’ll hear and see birds, squirrels, deer, and other wild animals, or notice their footprints in the snow. Remember to savor a warm cup of hot chocolate after your outdoor fun.

Visit a Ski Resort

Speaking of snow…winter is ideal for a trip to a ski resort with loved ones, especially if you enjoy outdoor winter activities. Experienced skiers and snowboarders can hit the pistes immediately, while learners can get lessons from experts. Not into skiing? Try sledding or snow tubing. Even non-athletes can partake in winter adventures with close ones.

Delight in Holiday Decorations

Regardless of whether you celebrate Christmas, the beautiful holiday decorations put up every winter are a joy to behold. The more elaborate, the better, as you and your family drive around town to admire all the Christmas lights! During the long, cold winter nights, Christmas decorations bring in light and cheer. 

Simple Joys

Winter months gift us with phenomenal sunrises. Watching the sun reflect off the pristine white snow on a crisp, cold morning is stunning. If you rise early enough, these sunrises are mesmerizing, and are truly something to cherish in winter.

Festive Gatherings

Winter ushers in numerous holidays, including Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and the New Year. Family gatherings along with holiday parties are an essential part of the season. We dress in our festive sweaters, relish special foods, and partake in cherished holiday traditions. Some family customs focus on giving back—many organizations conduct drives for warm clothing or food for homeless shelters during the holidays. Volunteering to sing carols, create crafts with nursing home residents, or serve meals at a local outreach center can be profound experiences. Doing something kind for others can significantly warm your spirit.

Clearly, winter is packed with delightful moments and enchanting experiences. After celebrating the holiday festivities and joyful times with family and friends, you might also believe that winter truly is the finest season!
