If winter were a person, she would be a girl with frosty hair.
Winter would wear snow pants, snow boots, gloves, a hat, and scarf.

Winter would spend the day eating cookies and drinking hot cocoa by a lake. 
Winter would spend the night by sitting in the snow waiting for morning so children could come out to play.
