PROS
Family: When thinking about winter the first thing that comes to mind is the holidays. Having the whole family come together and enjoying each other's company after so long without seeing one another is what makes the holidays a time to enjoy. Food: Every Mexican family knows that Christmas is time for Grandma's Tamales! Opening the refrigerator to see nothing but an endless stack of leftovers is probably a better feeling than waking up Christmas morning to see presents under a tree. Sales: There are many discounts and hot deals online or in stores. Bingeing: Binge watching is such a fun activity to do especially if it's christmas movies which usually play during the holidays. It's the perfect time to snuggle up with someone while drinking hot cocoa and snuggled up under a cozy blanket. Break: We get time off school which allows us to catch up on sleep and any work we have. |
CONS
Cold:The cold is an absolute NO. Sometimes the chilling weather could ruin holiday festivities. The worst feeling in the world is sitting in negative two degree weather and not being able to feel and limb in my body. I think everyone can agree it sucks not being able to do anything with your hands because they are numb. Traffic: Cars will usually be bumper to bumper and airports are full of people during the holidays trying to visit family or spend time out of the city and get away. Money: During the holidays especially Christmas people tend to go overboard with gift giving, which leads to overspending because the prices are being lowered Flu: The flu is more active during the colder months and it's usually when people get very sick. There’s nothing worse than feeling miserable on Christmas. Family: Being with family throughout the holidays isn't always the jolliest of things. For those who have split parents,this time of the year can be very hard when family drama makes the tension in the room rise. |
