Snowy Winter

“The First Fall Of Snow Is Not Only An Event But It Is A Magical Event. You Go To bed In One Kind Of  World And Wake Up To Find Yourse If In Another Quite Different, And If This Is Not Enchantment, Where Is It To Be Found?”

Winter has shortest days, longest nights and lowest temperatures than all other seasons.

Winter season comes when earth tilted away from sun. It is the season of health making however bad for trees and plants as they stop growing.

 Many animals hibernate during this season because of unbearable cold weather. Snow falling and winter storm are very common during this season.

Winter is also a time to share with others. Build snowman, snow angles and most importantly strike snowballs on each other’s. Daylight hours are very short, making it a special time to find ways to bring light into our homes .

Long winter evenings are a great time to sit around the fireplace with family and friends, and contemplate the love of those sitting with us. These are perfect times to share stories together, eat together, and relax together, as are the sacred holy days (holidays).
