Winter is a Better Season than Summer

I firmly believe that the merits of winter strongly outweigh those of summer, and therefore make it the better season. Not only does personal preference contribute to my opinion, but the multiple evidences that exist for such a prejudice are quite convincing. I believe that you will find them as such and will come to believe as firmly as I do that winter is the better of the two seasons. In what other season do you have snow and the wonderful exercise that it provides in the activity of shoveling? In the occasion of a large snowfall, you may be allowed the day off of school, which adds to the joy and beauty that can be found in an accumulation of snow. During the summer months, there are so many tiresome tasks that are constantly required of you. If you would like your yard to look presentable during the summer, you will need to be constantly watering, mowing, or weeding it. During the winter, there is no lawn to keep up as it is all covered in snow. No other season affords the delight to be had in snow because the other seasons are all almost identical in their coloring and scenery. In addition to this, winter contains far more holidays and celebrations than summer. While summer has the 4th of July as its only significant holiday, winter celebrations range from the festivities of Christmas and New Years to the fun celebration of days such as Groundhog's Day and Valentine's Day. All of the different holidays that winter has provide good excuses visit with friends and relatives and to renew relationships with them. For those of you who enjoy sports, winter provides quite a bit of variety from the sports that dominate the rest of the year such as football, soccer, and baseball. Sports such as skiing and ice skating and their many variants cannot be enjoyed during the summer months, as it is to warm. If you love clothing, winter brings an added bonus. During the summer it is way too hot to wear all of your comfy sweaters and cozy boots. The winter provides the right temperature and atmosphere in which to wear them. Scarves and other such accessories are a fun and easy way to show off your style. For the guys who love food, all of the holidays provide plenty of occasions for tasting different dishes and enjoying some of your winter favorites. Summer weather makes it way too hot to eat soup or drink hot chocolate. Even drinks such as tea and coffee are harder to enjoy in the summer because of their warmth. The unique opportunities to be had in winter in the area of sports, clothing, and food make it by far the better season. Summer is probably one of the most expensive seasons. Aside from the exorbitant cost of air conditioning that a particularly humid summer brings, there are summer camps, vacations, and extra activities to be paid for. The cost of summer quickly adds up. In winter, school provides not only an excellent education that will be of great use to you in the future, but included in it is the entertainment and extracurricular activities that cost so much during the summer months. As much as you may not enjoy going to school, I am sure that as an adult you will be grateful for the education that you received. One of the best parts of winter is the extra sleep that you are able to get because of the longer hours of darkness. With fewer hours of daylight in the evening, it makes us more willing to relax and take a break from the constant activity of our schedules. Not only is a break from our stress good for your health, but it is an enjoyable time to reconnect with your family. Getting more sleep will help you to have more energy and be more productive in your school work. I hope that you have found winter to be the better of the two seasons. I believe that the advantages of winter far outweigh those of summer and that a little thought on the subject will be enough to convince you of the benefits of the season of winter. Thank you.
