It's a Winter Wonderland


Winter, it’s when everything around you looks like a winter wonderland. The snow on the ground sparkles from the suns raise shining upon on it. The trees are covered in icicles that’s makes the trees look even beautiful then they really are.

Winter is my favorite season because of how the land looks so beautiful. When you think of winter you think of Christmas. Christmas is my favorite holiday not just because of the presents, but because of how families come together to celebrate this wonderful holiday. When it’s around Christmas time families go out and pick up a Christmas tree and decorated it. The day after Thanksgiving I and my family spend a whole day decorating our house for the Christmas season. I love it when you’re driving down your neighborhood and all the light on the houses are glowing brighter then sun. It makes you fell so peaceful.

What’s even better, is Christmas Day. When you walk down stairs and you see your tree glowing with all sorts of shapes and sizes of presents sitting under there. Since I'm the youngest in our family I pass out the presents to everyone. For the first presents we always open up are the ones that me and my brother and sister got for each other. When we are all done opening our presents our parents open the ones they have. When we are finally done opening all the presents my dad makes a huge breakfast. He usually makes pancakes, French toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, and biscuits. When I am done eating I am full for the rest of the day, until dinner. Christmas Day we celebrate it with my dad’s side and on Christmas Eve we celebrate it with my mom’s side.

Another reason why winter is my favorite season is because it’s the time for basketball season. Last year I played for my school St. Michaels. We were CYO champions; our record was 24-0.This year I am trying out for Stevenson. I am hoping to make the JV team. I have been playing with them this whole summer. Basketball is one of my favorite sports. The position I play is point guard.

When winter comes around I can’t wait to go snowboarding. Snowboarding is what I do in free time. I go every year with my friend Shelby to Boyne Mountain. Her family rents a cabin right on the snow hill. When we want to go snowboarding we just go outside and snowboard down the mountain to the chair lift and it takes us to the top of another mountain. We do this all day. Know you can see why I can’t wait for WINTER to come.

  1. I wish I liked winter, but, unfortunately, I hate it with a passion! It's cold and wet and miserable.
