Why Children Adore the Winter so a Lot
Saturday, October 30th, 2010When thinking of children and wintertime, the initial notion that comes to mind are rosy cheeks, mischievous grins, and snow. Beginning in autumn, when the air gets a crisp chill to it and leaves start to fall, children seem to have much more energy. Gone and forgotten are the sticky, very hot days of summer.
Autumn leads to the scent of bonfires and also the laughter of children as they jump head first into leaves. They begin to count the days until the second most loved vacation for kids everywhere, Halloween. There’s magic in the air as they set about determining what they want to dress as for Halloween. Plump, orange pumpkins begin to show up within the market and on farms. Kids carefully analyze each in the quest to discover the ideal pumpkin to carve as their jack-o-lanterns. The scent of roasting chestnuts fill the air and crisp apples offer up the beauty of their ruby red skin. Hearty stews for dinner are greeted with a fast smile and also the words “Thanks Mum” as they dash in to eat and warm themselves.
Autumn goes by quickly and brings into wintertime. Snow falls onto the ground transforming the countryside into a winter wonderland. With the snow comes sledding, tobogganing, and ice skating. Children, bundled up versus the cold, race outside each morning and afternoon to get themselves of the snow. The hills echo with the laughter and screams from the kids as they race to the tops of hills, flop onto their sleds and race laughingly down, only to repeat again and again, ruining the lovely designer kids clothing you bought them!
With the approach of November comes keen expectancy. Every child knows the most important holiday is merely around the corner. Xmas will soon be arriving! London dresses for the season, converting the bustling city into a wonderland of lights and sounds. In mid-November, London’s West End switches on it’s Xmas lights. Trafalgar Square raises the large Christmas Tree that has been presented each year ever since World War II from Norway. Children are impressed at the size from the tree and when the lights switch on, there’s never a scarcity of admiring oohs and aahs.
In mid-December, Father Christmas starts showing up at the department stores. Shops for example Harrods and Selfridges decorate their grottos and all of Britain becomes a magical land. Carolers belt out tunes, and kids catch the excitement from the season. They know that quickly Christmas puddings will be made and stockings will probably be hung. Between Christmas and Twelfth Night, happiness will probably be in ample supply.
What adult, watching as children laugh and play, doesn’t catch some of the children’s excitement. For the truth is, not only do kids love fall and wintertime, but adults do too. Spring may be the season of regrowth and rebirth as far as Nature is concerned, but when the ground is blanketed with the first snowfall and the quiet hush of winter encompases the countryside, life appears to take on a magical high quality and we believe that all things are feasible.
