Winter is the last season of the year in the northern hemisphere. This is the time when most of the biggest festivities around the world are observed, such as Christmas, Hanukkah, Diwali, New Years and a lot more of them. Winter is the perfect time to get cozy in your home under the covers next to the fireplaces.
It is the time to embrace the snow and the way it beautifully covers everything in white. Skis and snowboards come out, the ice skating enthusiasts are on a roll, all in all, it is the time that people like to enjoy in all different ways they can.
The winter season, like every other season, has a defined “first day of winter”. In astronomical terms, the onset of the winter season is marked by the Winter Solstice. Winter solstice in the northern hemisphere occurs when the north pole of the earth is tilted furthest away from the sun. This gives rise to extremely cold temperatures in the north since it receives less sunlight. The days get shorter and the nights get longer
