Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and Valentine’s Day- take place during the

winter months. You can do things outside that you can’t do at any other time

of the year. For example, you can sled, ski, or even build a snowman.

wake up in the morning and school will be cancelled. Clearly, winter is the

best season of the year.

• Winter is the best season.

• Christmas, New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day are the best.
