My favorite season of the year is winter. The weather is chilly, cozy, and a lot breezy. However, I feel like it sometimes gets too harsh, but I still like it anyway. During this season I love to prepare soup and enjoy, and I enjoy making snowman. I also delve into drinking hot chocolate and I make it for my sisters as well. The reason why I prioritize this season over the others is because it brings back childhood memories of my mother tucking my m muffler into my neck and making hot chocolate for me before I left for school. So there’s a lot of nostalgia and emotional sentiment attached to winters. My dad would also take off from his work early and we would go downtown and watch the sun rise in the morning. So I have such fond memories of winter when it comes to my childhood and I can still reminisce those feelings whenever winter comes. Secondly, the prevalence of winter vacations is a joyous moment for every child because they have the chance to go abroad on vacations or visit their grandparents, which is exactly what I do. My mother and I almost visit our grandparents every December till January 15, before two or three days before my school start, uh, in spending time with my grandparents because I don’t get to do that often, and with my cousins as well, with whom I also share the same age, which is why we enjoy even more adding on winter has a special place in my heart because of the celebrations of Christmas and the pretty lights that people usually install in their houses because of the Christmas.

My favorite season of the year is winter. The weather is chilly, cozy, and sometimes breezy. Although it can get a bit harsh at times, I still love it. During this season, I love to prepare and enjoy warm soup, and I enjoy making snowmen. I also indulge in drinking hot chocolate, which I often make for my sisters as well. The reason why I prioritize this season over the others is because it brings back childhood memories of my mother tucking my muffler into my neck and making hot chocolate for me before I left for school. There's a lot of nostalgia and emotional sentiment attached to winters. My dad would also take off from work early and we would go downtown to watch the sunrise in the morning. I have such fond memories of winter from my childhood, and I can still reminisce those feelings whenever winter comes. Secondly, the prevalence of winter vacations is a joyous moment for every child because they have the chance to go abroad on vacations or visit their grandparents, which is exactly what I do. My mother and I almost always visit our grandparents every December until January 15th, just a few days before my school starts. Spending time with my grandparents, whom I don't get to see often, and with my cousins, who are my age, makes winter even more special. Winter holds a special place in my heart because of the celebrations of Christmas and the beautiful lights that people usually install in their houses for the holiday.
