Merry Christmas Foreigner (Week 15)

Oh the Christmases where I come from are so beautiful. The white snowflakes create a frozen blanket on the ground, and children frolic and play with the biggest grins on their faces. You can go sledding down huge hills with your family and enjoy the cold wind blowing back in your face. You can build snowmen or have snow  ball fights with your friends. But the best part of the Christmas season is when you're done with the fun in the snow, you huddle around the nice warm fireplace, and join together for a soothing cup of hot chocolate. However, snow isn't what it's all cracked up to be. When the roads freeze, driving becomes a pain. Also, it takes a long time to warm up after your nose and hands have been touched by the notorious Jack Frost. Even though Winter has its downs, I couldn't imagine a Christmas season without a world covered in snow, and the Christmas spirit being shared throughout the country.
