Why Winter Is The Best Season of All?

View Comments

• When the difference between seasons is not as clearly defined in my East Coast Inland part of Oz. Every season has its own unique blessings and stresses. Christmas Is sometimes so steamy hot adapting to salads and unique ice-cream Christmas Puddings while adding prawns to turkey and carved leg ham etc, and enjoying maybe eating it outside under a tree. Long ago as a child I learnt to adapt. No SNOW ever. I never even saw snow until I was 20. Thank God He came at His Birth as one of us. His death makes us all brothers and sisters in every climate and to every tribe and language. I love best the days in early Summer before it gets too steamy and the days in late winter and early Spring when there is life and hope on the wind, Being grateful for EVERY DAY now I am getting older is my personal goal, TO EVERYONE in your blogging sphere I wish you wherever you may be, the LIGHT of HOPE that is Christmas for you and those you love, May it shine on you.

  • What a beautiful comment Faye and what a beautiful message at the end.

    I'm learning enjoying every season and every day. But I wish I can also see the snow, this beautiful gift of nature.

    Thanks Faye for your time writing this comment. My warmest wishes for you and your family. Hope you have a great time. ❣🙌

• Omg! Finally, someone who gets it. I LOATHE Summer. I grew up in the Tampa Bay area of Florida and I’ve tolerated about 48 Summers in Florida. I’ve been sick of the heat for two dozen years. I LOVE Winter and Fall. I lived in Portland, Oregon for seven years and I positively love the gloom and the associated coffeehouses. God, I miss Portland so much. I miss the snow and the snow-capped mountains. Florida IS beautiful, but I just love Fall and Winter. Thank you for writing this.❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹🍁🌓❄️❄️☃️💦🌧

  • We share the same thoughts. I do adore both winter and fall more than any other. They're my favourite season ❣
    Hope you relieve and cherish the snowfall soon.
    Though wishing me the same as well 😄

    I wish you a lot of happy winter’s time spent with your family, Happy Winter!

  • I love this message so much it is so positive and powerful to keep going on the benefits you can do in life

    • Appreciate your kind words, Syade.

• Winter is my favourite season. So good xx

  • Same pinch 🤏
    Happy winter!

    • Hahaha

      • 😄

• Winter is my favorite season as well but I guess I should follow this now more than ever, "All we need is to accept and adapt to the cycle of nature."

  • Thanks Siyanda.

    Yes, we should start enjoying every season and every flavour of it.
    (But still, I would prefer winter) 😄❣

• “A daily shower is no longer mandatory.” Enlightening! I never knew that guys cared to take a shower, in any kind of weather 🤣😜 Just kidding!
  On a serious note, the depression associated with winter, SAD (seasonal affective disorder) is a real mental disorder and I guess partly curable. We may not experience that in India due to our winters not being thaaat long.

  Where I live, there are 3 seasons-summer, extreme summer, extreeeeemmeee summmeerr. Now we’re at the first kind, so it’s very pleasant and chill most parts of the day 😅 Summers are Frustrating, really. Like you, I really look forward to late Novembers and Decembers because that is when one can live in peace 😭 God really did my place injustice by keeping it hot all the time! You’re lucky to be living in the North. Extremely. (Atleast when it comes to seasons).

  • Haha 😄
    Yeah, we take showers though we looks great anyway 😅 btw is that a compliment?

    I do know about SAD, therefore I mentioned it already, I know how overwhelming it is to get a sunlight for some people that we may never realise unless we live there.

    And yeah, we may be lucky to be living in North and enjoying the winter but it is just the one thing. We are really missing out some great things that you enjoyed in the south. Its just a fact and matter of time.

    Thanks for the comment, Sam.
    And, happy winter! do consider visiting north especially in this season. ❄🙌

    • Do you know how many times I’ve visited Kashmir and Himachal at this time of the year…. in my dreams 😅
      You should visit the South too, at any time of the year. Only reason would be cleaner air 🤪 Cleaner than Delhi and Mumbai for sure. (Atleast). We have the benefit of being surrounded by Sea 🤩

      • Haha 😀
        Hope your dreams come true soon.
        And hope I get a chance to visit South away from polluted air ofcourse. 😅
        South is beautiful and pleasant. ❣
        Especially it's people and traditions.
        And food....🤤

        • FOOD! That one 4 lettered word that should actually bring you down here!

        • Alright. I'm coming now.....

• Fall is my favourite season, followed by spring, summer and then winter. There are definitely things I like about winter—like going for a walk after a fresh snowfall, and seeing the snow hanging in the trees. The problem with winter in Canada is it goes on forever. I could tolerate a couple of months, but by the time we get to month 5 or 6 of winter weather, I’m done!

  • Fall is beautiful and magical too.
    I fully understand what you're saying about winter.
    Anything in excessive might not be good. But no doubt, Canada is such a beautiful for someone like me to spend a winter vacation and especially in northwest territories.

    As here winter last only for 2-3 months only, but no snow. So I'm really missing out on something.

• A beautiful meditation on winter. Thank you, Ritish!

  • Thanks for this beautiful comment, Wynne.
    Enjoy winter 🙌❣

• Love your points on winter. Our earth is magnificent in all seasons! I would never want to live in a place that didn't have 4 distinct seasons. I love them all, but Fall is my favorite for many reasons.

  • Here we have 6 seasons 😄
    Hope you would like to visit here as well.
    Btw I do love fall too, it's also a favorite season for so many people.
    You're right, we should embrace all the seasons. Such a beautiful gift to us.

    Happy Winter, Dennis. Hope you're having a good time❣🙌

• I don't like the cold weather, I'd rather be where it stays in the 65-70 degree range
  I have been in a lot of weather patterns across the states & spring is my favorite 1
  if I could find a place that has that all year I SURE WOULD MOVE THERE. 👍

  • I understand. We have our own reasons for liking anything.
    Spring is pleasant too and perfect time to take a week off.
    If I ever get a chance I would like to visit different parts of the world in different seasons. It would be wonderful.

    Happy Winter. ❄❣

    • When I use to be on the truck
      with my husband we had to
      go through different states &
      1 state would be nice & cool
      where a few states over would
      be warm & I ended up with
      walking ammonia sick as a dog.

      • Haha! You're jumping over seasons in a truck.
        That's quite interesting to know

        • yea you could say that ha ha ha never
          thought about it that way but your right.

        • Haha! 😄

• There is just something about chilly wind crawling on my skin which i just can’t tolerate 😫
  Plus winters =spinach season and i am no popoeye …….
  And all i wanna be in this season is “sleeping beauty ” 😴 although this factor isn’t only winter specific but you got the gist right….

  • Yes, this is the right place.
    Just watched popeye yesterday, completely forget about him.

    That morning sleep in winter is paradise 😴

    • Haha 😄
      You can thank me for the instant punch of nostalgia then...

      • Haha! Definitely. Thanks!
        You made me watch long forgotten cartoons 🤣

• Winters are my favourite :)

  • That's wonderful.
    Happy Winter ❄❣🪄

    • Thank you & same to you :)

      • Thanks ❄

• Happy Winter Ritish..

  Oh wow you have to visit when it's snowing sometime!
  Loved your thoughts and your poems.

  Enjoy the season and stay warm!
  ❤️

  • Oh! I'll definitely visit. Top on my bucket list. I guess, you have snow there every year.

    Thanks Cindy ❣
    Happy Winter!

    • That would be awesome.
      Ya know last year not as much.
      It just started raining FINALLY!!
      Let's hope!!!
      Fingers Crossed!!1 ❄️☃️⛄️

      • Oh wow! hope you get snow this time 🤞
        Snow add more warmth to the winter. Isn't it?

        • Meee too.. Yes and it will add more water which we soooo desperately need with all of the fires.. Thanks! 💖💖🙏

        • Oh yes! 🙂

        • 💖

• I've never heard anyone fluff up winters like this, but its an interesting perspective lol

  • Was thinking the same while writing this 😄😄
    But I just said what I always feel in winter. There's something magic in winter. Btw, what's your perspective about it?

    • That its piercingly cold, terribly miserable, and horribly wet (I live in England).
      And the prospect of snow just gives me nightmares😂

      • Oh wow! 🤣🤣
        But, I understand how summers means to people living in northern hemisphere.
        So, I don't argue.

        But I would highly recommend you to see this video to change your perspective about Winter - https://youtu.be/3zTR4ayDG38

        And I'm sure you're gonna like it. 🤞

      • Sounds like heaven to me.

  • I live in Florida, was raised here. I’ve had 50+ years of heat. I’m so over it I could gag. I escaped to Oregon for seven years and I’m seriously thinking of returning to Portland. My now ex-husband moved back there (we were both raised in Florida). He says he’s never ever living in Florida again.

    • There's something special about the Pacific Northwest. Hopefully, you'll get to experience it again soon.

      • Yes, it IS special the 90’s were magical because we lived in Oregon. My life has been circling the drain since I came home. Thanks for replying.

        • Keep your chin up!

• Ah, hello spring!

  • Spring is pleasant and charming 🙌❣

    • It's my favorite season.

      • I like the pleasant sunny days of spring. They're relaxing.
        What about you?

• Wonderfully-written, well-chosen topic, Ritish! Oh, I hope you do get to experience snow! It is fantastically beautiful and transforms the world around you to a magical place. After a big snow, it takes a while for the hustle and bustle to resume. It is very quiet and the air is fresh. Perfect time to take a walk! When you breathe, you can see your breath like a misty cloud. Snow on evergreens sparkles in the sunlight. Build a snowman, have a snowball fight, ride downhill on a sled, ski, and take lots of beautiful photos!

  I used to love snow days off from school and work, but I certainly do not miss scraping ice off the windshield or driving on slippery roads! I am old and achey enough that I am glad to enjoy the cold in nostalgic memories and movies :) Go while you're young, Ritish! <3

  • I love this commnent.❣ I love magical world, if snow can create one for me, I'm in. I want to see that misty clouds. I want that snowman waving at me. I want to capture all the magical moments.

    The way you described it have raised my curiosity and excitement to the next level. Thank-you so much, Cheryl.🙌
    Wishing you a good health.
    Hope that nostalgic memories never fade away and continue to motivate you to enjoy the life with your loved ones every day. ❣

• A lovely essay on the season. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas! With love, A. <3

  • Thank you for your kind wishes, Anna. ❣
    Wishing you a lovely Christmas and winter season and a very Happy New Year!

• I used to love winters when I lived in Japan, because of the snow. But now that I’m in South Africa, I hate it because it just means higher electricity bills, cold rain and extreme cold… it isn’t as cold as Japan, but the way houses are built here doesn’t quite keep the cold out… so it sucks 😅

  • Its alright if you hate it now. It depends on the places where we are living. And you're right snow is one of the reason why I adore winter.
    But I'm sure winter has something for you all, no matter where you lives.
    You just need to find that and you'll start loving it. 😀

    Happy Winters and New year.

• Falls and Winters are my favourite seasons. I don't like to wake up in the morning in winters and I feel sleepy till noon. I like autumn because it's not so cold and not so hot. I also like summers and Monsoon. In summers, we get 2 months holidays and in monsoon, I love getting wet in the rain. So, I love all the seasons in some or the other way.

  • It's good you accept and adapt the cycle of nature. I have to agree, every season has its own values and challenges.
    I find my own perspectives and reasons for winter that's why I just adore it. For me winner morning is cozy and magical. Its calming.

    Thanks for your comment.

    • Thank you Ritish

• Hi, Ritish, this is a lovely tribute to Winter. You're right, connecting to natural cycles is important. In my youth, I loved Summer, probably because it was a time of long school breaks in which my family went on vacation. Now that I'm older, I don't tolerate heat as well, and Autumn is my favorite; the mild temperatures and the colored leaves are amazing. Winter is lovely here too. We receive about 100 inches of snow a year, making this one of the snowiest places in the country! It is common for us to get 3 feet at a time, and it is absolutely beautiful on the trees, boulders, and the 12,000 foot mountains nearby. There is a gentle quietness to a snow-covered landscape that can't be described. Wishing you continued joy throughout your favorite season! 🌞

  • Thanks Lisa.
    You're right, Summer vacations is everyone's favourite. Although, I adore winter more than any other season, but I know one thing every season has something beautiful to offer. I've never seen snow in my life, but on winter temperature can fall as low as 1°
    There is breeze and magical ambience everywhere. There's a calmness in winter nights. I just love watching deep sky on winter. Its just all amazing.

    How beautiful for you to live in a place with snow and mountains. I know there would be challenges as well. But, good to hear you enjoy and adapt this beautiful cycle of nature. ❣🙌

• I enjoy winter, as well. Where do you live? I’m in northern New York State. I’m looking at Canada right now from where I’m sitting. Sometimes we do not see the temperature rise above zero for almost the whole month of January. Yet, I am ok with the weather, because it helps me to appreciate the spring. I prefer the cooler summers, and this is why I retired to this region. I am a totally a winter person! Great post, BTW.

  • Hi! fellow winter person. Winter holds a special place in my heart because of so many reasons. I lives in Northern part of India. Here the winter last for 2-3 months only. But I always overjoyed this short span of every year. The morning breeze air with a decent sunlight its just amazing.
    You're right too, winter indeed helps to appreciate spring.

    Thanks for sharing your thought about winter. Much appreciated.
