When thinking of kids and winter, the initial thought that comes to mind are rosy cheeks, mischievous grins, and snow. Beginning in autumn, when the air gets a sharp chill to it and leaves begin to fall, kids seem to have much more energy. Gone and forgotten are the sweaty, very hot days of summer.
Autumn leads towards the smell of bonfires and the laughter of kids as they jump head long into leaf piles. They begin to count the days until the second most precious vacation for kids everywhere, Halloween. There is magic within the air as they set about determining what they want to dress as for Halloween. Plump, orange pumpkins begin to appear in the market and on farms. Kids cautiously analyze each within the quest to find 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 welcomed with a quick smile and also the words “Thanks Mum” as they dash in to eat and warm themselves.
Autumn passes rapidly and leads into wintertime. Snow falls onto the ground transforming the countryside into a wintertime wonderland. With the snow comes sledding, tobogganing, and ice skating. Kids, bundled against the cold, race outside each morning and afternoon to avail themselves of the snow. The hills echo with the laughter and screams of the kids as they race towards the tops of hills, flop onto their sleds and race laughingly down, only to repeat once more and once more, ruining the lovely designer kids clothing you bought them!
Using the approach of November comes keen expectancy. Each child knows the most essential vacation is simply around the corner. Christmas will quickly be arriving! London dresses for the season, converting the busy city into a wonderland of lights and sounds. In mid-November, London’s West End switches on it’s Christmas lights. Trafalgar Square raises the big Xmas Tree that has been delivered each year ever since World War II from Norway. Kids are impressed at the size of the tree and when the lights switch on, there is never a absence of admiring oohs and aahs.
In mid-December, Father Christmas starts showing up at the department shops. Shops such as Harrods and Selfridges decorate their grottos and all of Britain turns into a magical land. Carolers belt out tunes, and kids catch the excitement from the season. They know that quickly Xmas puddings will be made and stockings will probably be hung. Between Christmas and Twelfth Night, happiness will 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 children adore autumn and winter, but adults do as well. Spring might be the season of regrowth and rebirth as far as Nature is concerned, but when the ground is covered using the first snowfall and also the quiet hush of wintertime encompases the countryside, life seems to take on a magical quality and we believe that all things are possible.
