Given, I do not live in a place that snows or even gets very cold for that matter. But, I think I understand why winter is my favorite time of year. Let me try to explain myself. There are few times in life in which we can see all people recognize that they are subject to the powers of nature. Winter is one of them, a time when people must go inside, and aren't always able to do anything they like. The festivities of winter and feeling of brotherhood that we feel around wintertime come from the recognition that we are all brothers and sisters in Christ whose birth was a gift than nobody could have expected or hoped for, but also because we find ourselves in close quarters with the ones we love because of the dropping mercury and gusty winds. We are indeed people of warmth, and the things we partake of indoors during wintertime reflect our need for warmth and joy.
