Mr.Spragues newspaper staff Winter Topic: Winter is all in all very nice and great, especially on Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, or whatever it may be! Winter is very cold though, and that’s one downside. Ever got frostbite? I haven’t, but I’ve got hurt by a snowball so yeah. Winter is usually the season for snow but if you live somewhere it is hot then it is most likely a season for bitter cold and no snow. For people who celebrate Christmas it is a season for Red green and blue lights, a season for caroling, a season for giant socks under a burning fire, a season for a man to break into your house, steal cookies, and put presents under a pine tree, and a season for when it is perfectly fine to have a real or fake pine tree in your house and it being decorated with glitter plastic balls and candy shaped as a walking cane. With Picture topics: all this in mind, winter is great! These are pictures of winter things.
