I know when it comes to Florida, we don’t necessarily get a “White Christmas” that’s more of a northern state thing. However, the winter that we still get in Florida still has some amazing things to come to it and argumentatively is better than fall.

The winter season happens to bring some festive holidays including Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. In my family, we celebrate Christmas (at least the gift-giving part) but there’s just something about the blissful feeling of ripping up some cheesy wrapping paper on a present under a poorly decorated tree that adds that special holiday flair.

I can just pile up amazing things about the wintertime. Schools let out for two weeks so during Christmas you have time to take a Winter Holiday with family and friends. It’s easily a great way to spend time with family and catch up with them. Plus, who doesn’t like a break from school and work?

Hey, maybe now you can wear that sweater you have been saving in your closet now due to the fact it’s not boiling outside. I feel like clothing is definitely up there for the perks of winter. In Florida, it won’t get freezing in the winter but it’s definitely cool enough for you to have a nice cold breeze to pass your face while still being able to wear a hoodie.

However I must say I do enjoy the fact that Florida doesn’t get absolutely freezing compared to our northern states. It’s not like I’m trying to shovel several feet of snow. Even if it means I miss out on that beautiful White Christmas from the glistening snow I’m willing to make that sacrifice.

I do feel like the fact that Florida doesn’t snow and get really cold is like the state’s personality trait.

Even though Florida isn’t exactly your “Winter Wonderland” you’re still able to feel the Winter aura that’s included with the season. As much as I do wish to wake up to a nice cold sheet of snow.
