The positive aspects of winter

There is no avoiding winter here in Canada, so why not make the best of it?

Snow!

Imagine waking up to the entire neighbourhood covered with snow, everything is underneath a blanket of snow. No single snowflake is the same, each one completely different. One may even get lucky and get a snow day off of school! Snow brings fun activities, building snowpeople, snowball fights, skiing and snowboarding, tobogganing, or maybe just a walk in a park with family. 

Holidays

Winter comes with many holidays and celebrations: Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Years, and Ōmisoka. The Holidays present a wonderful opportunity for rest and relaxation, and to gather with friends and family. 

Season of comfort food

Hot chocolate, tea, poutine and cookies, winter is the season for comfort food! 

There are two ways to go about the winter season. Embrace it, or hate it. Instead of picking out all of the things that are disliked about winter, think about the positive.
