Winter is my favorite season because we can have fun in the snow. My favorite winter activities are snowball fights and making snowmen. Last year I did both! When I have snowball fights, I don't like to be on a team, so sometimes other people team up and attack me. In fact, I almost died last winter because my cousins and my brother threw hundreds of snowballs at me! It was fun, though.

Some people think snowmen can come to life, but they cannot. You can imagine what you like. You can think you are making a person with snow, but it will never come to life like Frosty the snowman! Last winter I made a snowman from the game, "Minecraft". I made a snowman that looked like the character, "Enderman". It was so cold that day! I was shivering! But I made the snowman anyway. I made a square head and long arms and I used grape juice to make the eyes purple. Then it looked like Snow-Enderman was crying because the grape juice was falling down his face. 

The next day I walked outside and found out that Snow-Enderman disappeared. I tried to find him, but I only found his head. Winter is similar to the life of snowmen because the sun comes out and the snowmen and the snow melt. Then it’s spring! Thank you for listening.
