Winter is the best season of all.

I personally think that there isn't a best season but if you were to choose and look at it from an intellectual angle, I would say that Summer is the best season. Ok, here we go. .. You mention that Spring and Fall are two annoying transition periods and that they don't really count or have any significance. Even if you disliked Spring and Fall to the bottom of your heart, you can't say that they shouldn't even bear any significance. If Spring and Fall (the two seasons in between winter) weren't to count, you wouldn't even have your favorite month to enjoy! The temperature change from Summer to Winter would be very fast. If you were to keep the four seasons that we have now, it would be a slow transfer of temperature change. That would be better not just for us humans, but also for all the animals and the environment in general. The season transfer can't just be between Summer and Winter. That would be very detrimental to the earth, and scientifically impossible. The temperature change would be too much for the Earth to handle. I shall use a human as an example. Whenever a human transfers from a cold environment and a hot environment very rapidly, it causes the body to go into shock, among other things as well. A similar detrimental result could to the earth if that very same thing were to happen. You mention that snow is a positive aspect of winter. Now, while it may be a positive aspect for children and fun to play with, that doesn't outweigh the factor that snow is a major cause of automobile accidents. Would you rather risk the possibility of having some entertainment over the possibility of losing your life? Snow increases car-insurance and causes the driver of the car to have less control and he/she can't see properly. That causes the car driver to become increasingly dangerous to himself and others. Snow is certainly not a good aspect about winter. Winter also is historically associated with colder temperatures. Colder temperatures means more hypothermia and frostbite. That means more deaths related to those conditions. There are countless other conditions that are associated specifically with cold temperatures but I shall only stick to the better known ones. You say that we have Christmas and New Years in Winter. While those two holidays are very great, lets see some of the ones we are missing: Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, and Thanksgiving Day. Now, here are the reasons why Summer beats Winter. First, the children are out of school. Second, a lot more construction is able to get done. Third, you can swim, which provides relief for people with paralysis, such as FDR. Fourth, generally it is a good time to plan for vacations because a lot of people not just children get off at this time. This creates an excellent atmosphere where everyone in the family can have fun together. Finally, Summer causes a very real energy change to many people. It causes people to go outside and enjoy the environment, instead of being inside all the time. It allows people to wear minimal clothes and still be comfortable and have excellent mobility, as oppossed to wearing heavy clothes and have slow mobility.
