Everybody has their different opinions on what season is the best. Spring has somewhat nice weather, school is almost over, etc. You might think it’s nice but the con’s outweigh pro’s. Many people get allergies, and the weather isn’t consistent. The summer isn’t the best because it gets to extreme temperatures, many bugs end up in your house, and due to the heat you are always sweating. In the fall the weather isn’t consistent, and all of the plants are dead. These seasons all have many ups and downs to them except winter. In the winter it is always cold which is consistent, you get snow days if you live somewhere where it snows, and the cold weather is always good for hot chocolate by the campfire. So that’s what makes winter the best season.
I interviewed a student at BHS Gia Jarmin, and asked the question, “What is your favorite season?” and her answer was “I like winter because of the weather and I love Christmas.” There are many reasons to love winter and one of them is the activities there are to do. Some activities to do around winter are ice skating, skiing, snow boarding, taking a trip to Tahoe for the snow, going to the christmas tree lighting in Benicia and or San Francisco, going to candy cane lane in Vacaville, the Christmas menu at Starbucks, making gingerbread houses, and watching all the holiday movies. Not to mention once winter starts you only have to go to school for 3 weeks and then you get 2 whole weeks off, starting the new year when you get back to school.
Another reason the Winter season is so good is the short amount of time in the day which causes us to get more sleep. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine claims that 34% of U.S. adults say they can sleep more during Winter. Getting more sleep means you have more energy. Having more energy can cause you to have a better mood. National Sleep Foundation states “getting enough sleep helps regulate emotions and fosters a positive mood which can help us look on the bright side of things.” This proves why winter is such a good season as your mood is overall better.
In conclusion, winter is the best season because there are countless activities to do, movies to watch, and you will get more sleep, have more energy, and feel happier all around being able to enjoy the holiday season and spending time with your loved ones.
