During winter to stay happy the things that I do are like going with my sisters shopping also with my sister in law. Another thing is that when it rains my sister and I always go under the rain to get wet and we jump in the puddles. It gets fun and even more if we are on our school break. The thing that I like the most about the winter is the winter break because I get to stay with my family and that is the best thing ever. Not every thing from winter is great I also get bored and most of the time I want to go out but no one wants to go with me. I also don’t like when it stops raining and everything is wet, sometimes I really miss the sun during winter even though here in California doesn't rains a lot.
Lizbeth Urieta P6-38 (Anaheim)
One of my favorite things to do in the winter is to get in my pjs, make hot chocolate, and watch movies all day. Here in California, it doesn’t really get cold and in Florida it doesn’t either which is where i am from, so I haven't really experienced cold weather. Once the weather starts to change and it goes from like 90 to 70 degrees that when i consider it to be cold and do the stuff that I mentioned. When it's winter i like to do these things because when it's cold i don’t really feel like doing anything. What i like about the season the most is that I get to wear cozy sweaters everyday what I dislike about this weather is that I usually get sick because of the temperature change. I can very much relate to the author of the article in “Move over, Marie Kondo:Make room for the hygge hordes” because it explains what i've been saying. “  How to get hygge? Go home and stay there, preferably in your hygge krog aka you “cozy nook” wrapped in a blanket, drinking a cup of coffee and watching danish police procedural about a serial killer with your friends”
Diana. C Period 3--6 (Anaheim)
In the winter something that I do to stay cozy is wear numerous fuzzy socks or long socks. In addition I usually like to drink hot chocolate or tea when it gets really cold. Another thing I like to do to stay cozy is always wrapping myself in a big blanket either when doing homework or watching t.v. Something that I like about winter is being able to wear big cozy sweaters and the rain. In addition I like how in the winter you can stay warm by just layering up as opposed to the summer where it can be difficult to stay cool. However something that I dislike about winter is how it can be difficult to hang out with friends or do activities outside because of the rain. Additionally in places that it snows I can imagine that is must be a bothersome to have to shovel snow every morning.
Antonia Ramirez (per.6 23)
During the winter I love to wrap myself in a blanket and wear my coziest and comfiest pajamas. I also love the parties and get togethers that happen because I think that being around the people you care for is the best thing. I also like the food that's my family cooks. Enjoying time with my dog is also one of my favorite things to do. Mostly I think that spending time with my family and friends is what I do during the winter.
Andrea Martinez Period: 5 Desk: #20 (Anaheim, CA)
Winter is my favorite season because I love to dress up cozy everyday and I love the fashion. To stay happy, productive and cozy during the winter is to drink hot chocolate with pan dulce (Mexican bread). I also like to travel during the winter. Where I travel during the winter is Mexico. Mexico is the best place to spend my winter because my whole family is in Mexico and when I go, we always have parties. What I like about this season is being on my bed with my huge blanket drinking hot chocolate or tea while I'm watching movies. What I dislike about the season is getting sick. I would always get sick when it's a cold day.
Jennifer O. P.4-18 (Anaheim)
The winter season is the one of the most loveable seasons. To enjoy the season I like to wake up every morning to watch Christmas movies with my younger siblings. As the day progresses , as a family we just all relax and snuggle watching more Christmas movies. I love being able to have winter break during the winter season and not worry about waking up early for school. What I dislike about this season is the fact that while teachers relax with their families they leave the students an assignment to keep them busy.
Alfredo Pantoja P.2 #27 (Anaheim)
I like winter it's my favorite time of year because i like the cold. During winter i enjoy the cold and it's frosty winds. Also during winter we keep ourselves cozy by covering ourselves with blankets and drink coffee or hot chocolate. My family comes together to have a party during Christmas also and we have a blast. I also walk in the mornings because i like how the sky looks in the mornings it makes me think of many things and about my past also.
Jazmin L. Per. 5-33 (Anaheim)
During this season there are many things I like doing that make me happy and stay cozy. For example I love to go out with friends and enjoy a nice hot chocolate, because first of all spending time with friends is great and then second of all you are staying warm not just by the company of your friends but also with the hot chocolate. This season is honestly great in my opinion because there are many things you can do that will keep you warm, and besides this season is a holiday season where you can spend time with your family and enjoy of the company of friends as well. I don't think there is anything I don't like about this season, because this season is so jolly, even if it is cold.
Mariam M. Period 4-15 (Anaheim)
Winter is one of the best seasons because first of all, I love the fashion. The fashion usually consists of scarves, turtlenecks, long sleeves etc. Also, the hot drinks are the best. Being in southern California, we don't experience an actual winter. It just gets cold and it rains, sometimes. It would be amazing if it snowed. Winter in general, makes me happy. Yes, when it is cold outside you just want to stay inside all day, but going out to explore is the best. There isn't really anything I dislike about the winter season.
Stephanie A. Per.6-2 (Anaheim)
During winter I like to eat anything like any other day, but what I most prefer is hot chocolate with bread because it keeps me warm. I really don't do anything special in order to be happy. Everything I do keeps me in a very good mood. In order to stay cozy I usually always have a blanket with me and watch movies either in my living room or my room with all the lights turned off to be relaxed. Believe it or not, I don't dislike anything from winter season because it's actually my favorite season from all. I enjoy winter a lot! I like everything about it the rain, the cold and specifically going to the snow etc. Winter break is dedicated to spend more time with your family and not have to worry about school or work. What's really unfair is getting homework from teachers and having to worry/stress about it during winter. Ultimately, everything makes me happy.
Alexander H (p5-15)
I love the winter because I like the cold, but I dont' need a lot to stay warm. I just need a blanket and if I do get really cold I just put on a jacket. Although it takes very little to keep me warm during winter I do like having hot chocolate, but it does make me kind of hot. One thing that I always wanted to try during winter was to sit by a fire all cozied up. Above all else the best part of winter is winter break especially when there is no work to do.
Savanna Hart p6-21 (Anaheim)
Winter is my all time favorite time of the year. I like to stay in some nice pjs and some fuzzy socks, bundled up in my bed or on the couch. I am the happiest when I am at home in my little nook. I also believe that is when I am my most productive as well. This quote is basically what I participate in, "Go home and stay there, preferably in your hyggekrog — a.k.a. “cozy nook” — wrapped in a blanket, drinking a cup of coffee and watching a Danish police procedural about a serial killer with your friends," except instead of coffee its hot chocolate and instead of a Danish Police procedural its 'Vampire Diaries'. I like the cold weather, listening to christmas music,and being with family. Just like the author stated, "Cozy as an ideal is showing up in other unlikely arenas, like the preamble to a mixtape by ASAP Mob, a rapper collective, called the Cozy Tapes, a kind of Christmas album." I dislike the fact that not a lot of people get to go home and get all cozy, "“I thought, whoa, Americans need more of this and I need more of this,” she said. “Once you have a word like hygge in your vocabulary, you can’t stop using it."
Lisseth Zaragoza Per.5 - 40 (Anaheim)
During the winter I love to eat just like any other day and season. I love indulging in different types of warm pastries and beverages whether it be a blue berry scone or some freshly baked cookies or a nice cup of coffee or some sweet hot chocolate, small things like that really make your day a whole lot better especially when stressing about upcoming holiday plans or shopping you're facing. The thing that I like the most about the holiday season is all the baking my younger sister and I do. I've always been a huge fan of baking but no one would really bother helping me until my younger sister starting taking an interest for it and decided to be nice enough to help me collect ingredients and help decorate whatever it was that we baked. Still being a student when the holiday season comes along can be a hassle sometimes especially when some of your teachers decide to leave you some sort of assignment or project to work on. The holiday season is a time to spend with your family and not think about work which isn't the case when we get left with tons of work to do.
Kayla F. Period 4-11 (Anaheim)
During the winter I like to stay in sweats or Pj's and wear cozy socks. I like to stay home, watch movies, and eat a lot. I usually like to drink hot chocolate with bread. What I like about this season is that all my family gathers together and we take out fire pit. My family tends to tell jokes or play board games when we're together. What I don't like about this season is that it gets too cold, and all I want to do is lay down and sleep.
George E P3-#10 (Anaheim)
During Winter, I really love to stay home watch movies and play video games with a bunch of blankets and drink hot chocolate. I also like to hang out with family and talk. What i don't like is how it doesn't snow in California so it can make it more exciting. I would like it to snow so it can feel a lot more like winter.
Dayana B per.4-4 (Anaheim)
During the winter I love to wear cozy socks, pajamas, and a scarf and lay in bed, maybe read a book with a warm blanket. In addition, I like eating warm foods like soups, oatmeal, and drinking hot chocolate. What I like about this season is that my family and I get hygge when family comes over and we take out our fire pit, gather around telling jokes or playing Loteria. The only thing I dislike about winter is that sometime's it gets too cold and all I want to do is sleep.
Bani G. Per. 3 #14 (Anaheim)
What I do during winter time to stay happy is I eat plenty of food. Eating food makes me happy. Another thing that makes me happy is cuddling with my girlfriend while drinking hot chocolate. That makes me happy, keeps me warm and cozy. What I like about this season is that it's cold and i get to use my blankets and sweaters and coats during this season. What I dislike about this season is that it rains a lot and I really don't like getting my shoes wet.
Savannah c (arkansas)
during the winter to I love to sit in my living room by the fire and drinking hot cocoa with my family and eating chicken noddle soup for dinner and watching all the cheesy hallmark movies with my aunt and watching YouTube all day with my brother.
Guillermo M. (arkansas)
During the winter i love to sit next to the fire place. With a blanket cuddled around me. Also with a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallow of course.
Carley E (Arkansas)
During the winter time I like to wrap up in a blanket, watch movies with my family, and drink hot chocolate by the fire.
John M (springdale)
During the winter i like to drink hot chocolate and get in my covers and go to sleep. I love to also get by a fire.
Karlie J. (Arkansas)
During the wintertime, I love snuggling on the couch, watching movies with a bag of popcorn and rich hot chocolate in my hands. My dog, Ruby, will snuggle up next to me, while my cat, Teddy, will lay on my lap and purr. When I'm not doing this, I will probably playing a tune on the piano, or be running outside in the frosty forest with my dog.
Chris K. (Arkansas)
That sounds enjoyable Karlie.
Ella H (Arkansas)

Cool story bro
Princess S. (Arkansas)
During the winter i love to sit by the fire place. With a blanket cuddled around me. Also with a cup of hot chocolate and some food of course.
Olivia Snelten (E219)
During the winter time I love nothing more than snuggling up with a load of blankets and some hot chocolate. I love all the activities that are available to do throughout this time of the year. Except there is one major downside to winter.. the cold. I absolutely hate the cold. I don't mind the snow, in fact I love the way it looks after a fresh fall, but I hate the cold that comes along with it. I hate the absolutely freezing walk from the school parking lot into the school and so does my frozen face by the time I get inside. I also don't like driving in the snow. It gives me so much anxiety and makes me feel so nervous.
David-Kevin (Washington, DC)
I loved reading this article. I travel extensively throughout Scandinavia and wrote about hygge when I returned a couple of years ago from Denmark in my travel and food blog.
Alexis R (Arkansas)
What I do is get my warm blanket, grab a book, and start reading. Another thing I do is go out to get some Starbucks, come home, and watch movies.
Hailee M. (Arkansas)
One of my favorite things to is curl into a big and fluffy blanket and sit next to the fire. Also I am watching my favorite Christmas movie , Frosty the Snowman, and my mother makes the best chocolate cookies.
Ethan H (Arkansas)
I enjoy during the winter laying down, covered up with a blanket, and watching TV. Sometimes I turn my lights of in my room and leave a candle lit by my window. Most of the time I go down stairs and watch YouTube by my fireplace, and it makes me feel amazing.
Mariah S (Arkansas)
One of my favorite ways to stay cozy is cuddling up with my dogs, Kayne and Bella. I enjoy when I have a bunch of blankets on top of me it feels like i´m sleeping against a big fluffy bear.
Sophia S (Arkansas)
Some of the things I enjoy doing in the winter is cuddling upon the couch with a big blanket and fuzzy socks. I love to watch movies also. Occasionally me and my family will go sledding and when I get back home I immediately go straight to the fireplace to get warmed up.
Kate N (Arkansas)
I enjoy sitting by the fire and playing a board game with my family. As I play I feel nice and comfy with my fuzzy socks on and a soft blanket around my shoulders. The taste of hot chocolate in mouth while playing a board game calms me. I love the flurries falling down from the cloudy sky.
Connor N. (Arkansas)
In the winter I appreciate a nice warm cup of cocoa and sit in front of the fire place with a warm,soft,cozi blanket with friends and family.
Connor p (Arkansas)
One of my favorite things to do is to sit by the fire with a fresh batch of cookies and tune into a good old Christmas special.
Kyla P. (Arkansas)
The moment I wake up from a cold winter night, I immediately turn on the gentle fireplace. I then make myself some steaming hot chocolate with marshmallows and whipped cream to even out the sweetness. I then wrap myself in a burrito like position with a soft blanket.
I.Jimenez (Arkansas)
My favorite thing to do is to lock myself up, and rap myself up in a blanket which appears to look like a cloak from my head to my feet. Of course not forgetting to put on long cozy socks then when i finish.Then i grab some Doritos, Mountain dew, and lastly my video games and controller.
Chloe W (Arkansas)
Some of the things I do on a cold day is put my Onsie on and eat my cinnamon rolls by the fire place. When I finish my breakfast, my family and I always play games in front of the fire place while we hide ourselves in our blankets.
JocelynP (Arkansas)
My favorite way to get cozy in a snowy winter morning is watching Netflix with my family along with some hot chocolate by the fireplace
TannerT (Arkansas)
The way I spend my peaceful time inside is when my mom wraps me up in fuzzy blankets and watch movies till were bored of it. We drink coffee and hot cocoa while we listen to the fire crackle. At the end, I enjoy the winter and its snowy days so the schools here can be canceled.
Lauren S (Arkansas)
One of my favorite ways to stay happy and warm in the winter is to wrap myself in a warm, fuzzy blanket, sit on the couch and have a cup of hot coco. When I wrap myself in my blanket it reminds me of the picture of the person in the blanket and drinking a hot beverage.
Sheila de Leon (Seattle)
In the winter, I like to drink hot cocoa, curl up with a good book by the fireplace, and cook a spicy Korean instant noodle soup.
brynn (e219)
I like to go sledding, hang with friends, go see Christmas lights, and drink hot chocolate. I like what there is to do in the winter and cuddling with a ton of blankets and drinking hot chocolate. I don't like how you how cold it is and having to shovel snow is probably the worst thing.
Marie Bowles (E219)
Some of the things I do to stay happy and cozy during the winter are go sledding, drink hot chocolate, and sit by the fire while I read a good book. It is mandatory that I keep a really big, fuzzy blanket on me at all times. It’s really hard to stay productive because all I want to do is play in the snow or stay curled up in a ball at home. What I love about winter is that it’s a big excuse for me to drink gallons of hot chocolate and where fuzzy socks everywhere I go. The only thing I don’t like is cleaning snow off my car and that it always gets my socks wet.
Brynn (E219)

Erin (E219)
During the winter, I really like to drink hot chocolate, and have hot soups and chilis. I love wearing fuzzy socks, and leggings or sweats because they're soft and comfy. I find that I can be more productive when I get enough sleep, because then I can stay focused and I won't want to be as lazy. I like seeing the snow, and holiday food is always the best! But it is a bummer to get out of bed in the morning, shivering, because it's so cold in my house.
Kenadee Moore (E219)
During the Winter I like to go snowboarding a lot if I'm outside enjoying snow, but if i decide to stay inside I have a couple of favorites. What I do most is snuggle up in sweats and drink hot chocolate and dip toast in it while I watch a movie. The thing I dislike most about Winter is how cold it gets. I love the snow but I hate the cold especially in the morning when you have to get in you car and the drive is freezing, I feel like I might as well roll down my windows the whole ride because I honestly don't think it'd feel that much different. It seems like it starts to get warm right when im getting close to where I need to be and it makes it that much harder to get out of my car an back into the cold.
Olivia snelten (E219)
I agree! The drive to school in the morning is absolutely awful! Makes going to school all that much worse!
Keidy A (Arkansas)
One of my favorite things to do on winter is drink hot chocolate and eat cookies, while talking with my family. I like to put a fuzzy sweater and soft pants on. I enjoy reading or sitting by the fireplace, but mostly I like to watch horror movies or sleep.
Kam Jones (E219)
I agree with you completely on this subject. All these things in winter are literally the best things to do. Especially watch scary movies. I don't know why but watching them in the cold under lots of blankets just makes everything so much scarier and better.
Kenadee Moore (E219)
I always drink hot chocolate and get in warm clothes too! It makes it so much more enjoyable! I hate horror movies though but maybe I'll have to try it!
Isaac Kalka (Arkansas)
One of my favorite things to do on a snow day is having my friends over and have a snowball fight. I also like to cuddle up by the fire and watch movies with my friends and family. My mom usually makes pumpkin and chocolate pie. And that is what I do on snow days.
Cody Sparks (arkansas)
one of my favorite thing to do is to get by the fire and drink some coffee.After that I have bacon and eggs for breakfast and watch TV.
Natalie C. (Arkansas)
My Hygge is laying down on the couch with a warm thick blanket on me. The fireplace right beside me warming me up. I enjoy wearing my nice warm pajamas and watching cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies. One of my favorite holiday treats is Junior Mint hot chocolate.
A. Marvin (Arkansas)
Junior mint chocolate really is the best. I love your comment by the way.
B Reynebeau (Arkansas)

J Myers (Arkansas)
One of my favorite ways to stay cozy in the Winter is to sit by the fireplace. I also enjoy sipping on hot chocolate with my comfy slippers on. I then like to wrap myself in a blanket to keep me warm. Sometimes I will turn a Christmas movie on and watch it. I also might have a friend over. This is what makes me comfy in the winter.
Nicole (E219)
I also like to sit by the fireplace to keep warm. I’m not a big fan of hot chocolate, but I relate because I know how much I love my coffee. I most definitely agree with watching Christmas movies with my friends during Christmas time.
Dylan Charles (Feyettville, Arkansas)
One thing I love to do when It is very cold outside is wrap up in my favorite blanket and either take a nap, watch a movie, or read a good book. I also love to make hot chocolate and eat some cookies.

sjoyner (Arkansas)
I enjoy sitting on my couch cuddled up in a blanket to watch the snow fall while I sip a warm sweet cup of hot chocolate or tea. I also like to take a hot, steamy bath to keep myself warm throughout the cold day.
brynn (e219)
I totally agree with you. I like to get in my hot tub which is sorta like a bath tub but getting in and out of the hot tub is the worst part because it is super cold. But i like to cuddle up in blankets and drink hot cocoa.
Alex S (Arkansas)
My favorite thing to do in the winter is.Drink hot cocoa,get a blanket and wrap myself like a burrito,and read.
scott p (Arkansas)

Nury S (Arkansas)
One of my favorite ways to get cozy is to curl up in bed and watch TV. I also like to drink hot chocolate while I watch the snow fall outside my window.
Destiny Olsen (E219)
I agree! I love to stay warm and cozy during the winter with tons of blankets in my bed, and watching tv is a bonus. And the only reason I like snow is because I like watching it fall, but I hate being in it because it's cold and wet.
Ethan E (Arkansas)
When the icy grip of winter clutches the land, I rejoice. The winter, although deceitful with it's frozen dread, brings a greater joy than most can imagine. In this comment I would like to converse about the happiness of hygge. To me, hygge is curling up beside the endless depths of a roaring flame. It is bringing a beloved book closer to your searching eyes. It is the warmth of a comforted soul resting it's weary head down for a long slumber. Winter is the time of rejoicing for all who see it.
Erin (E219)
Wow, I really like your comment :) I agree, sitting by the fire and reading, and getting to sleep is great! Winter can be kind of miserable but I kind of feel like hot chocolate makes up for it.
Evan P. (Arkansas)
I agree. Great word choices.
Evan P. (Arkansas)
I agree Ethan! Also, great word choices.
Billy I (Arkansas)
The moment I wake up from a cold, dark night I grab my blanket, make hot chocolate, and sit on the couch while I see little snowflakes falling down on the ground. Right after I'm done watching snowflakes fall to the ground, I would get a book and sit by the fire.
Brandon Lindenmuth (Arkansas)
I'm cozy when I am by my family watching A Christmas Carol.
M. Tisher (Arkansas)
cool
Trevor L. (Arkansas)
One thing I do on a snow day is I drink hot Chocalte. Anthor thing I do is sit by the firepalce warm up. To stay productive I would bunddle up in a blanket. Then to give me more energy I would go to sleep. I would spenfd all of that energy on palying with my dog and 2 cats. To stay cozy I would grab my softest balnket and warp my self in the balnket. What I like about the season is you can play outside in the snow. What I do not like about the season is the cold rain when it hits myface and makes realy cold.

Joshua L. (Arkansas)
While the beautiful white snowflake fall in the winter I am cozy on my bed sipping hot chocolate. A movie is playing while I eat popcorn and am under many blankets staying warm. The cold tries to creep into the house but the fireplace always keeps me warm. My dog is also in the room laying down as more snowflakes fall. This is what makes me cozy.
Cameron.B (Arkansas)
You did a really good job.
Jashua Chavis (Arkansas)

LBlair (Arkansas)

Carson T. (Arkansas)
When I look outside in the cold frosty air I see sunlight. Although I don't feel the warmth it just makes me warmer. Maybe it's the hot apple cider, I really don't know. I see my dad asleep on the couch. My mom on her phone. Me and my brother watching the movie and my dog just starring at us. Our popcorn machine is popping and the fire is crackling. We just lay down and feel the warmth of the fire.
jacob m (arkansas)
the air cant freez because ther is now h2o
AndrewDitt (Arkansas)
I love hot apple cider too. That is the same way my dog is but he is under the blanket with me.
kwagner (arkansas)
''I enjoy to sit in front of a warming hot fire, while drinking hot coco. I also enjoy to be around my family drinking hot soup, watching my favorite show on Netflix the Wonder Years wearing my pajamas under a fluffy warm blanket. It is a perfect bonding time.
C#####M#####Y###N (mclaughlin)
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ When its cold and icy outside i like to sit in-front of my TV in my living room with the thickest blankets and drink hot chocolate with a candy cane in it until i get sick. It is a tradition that whenever winter comes around that we all get together by our fire place and watch Rudolf the red nose reindeer sometimes we watch Leroy the redneck reindeer well listing to the and because it is funny. that is what makes me cozy on a cold winter day.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
N.Espinosa (Arkansas)
When its cold and snowy outside, I like to snuggle up in a warn, fuzzy blanket and watch a movie with my family.

What I like to do when its freezing cold out side I sit by the fire and wrapped my self
with my cozy blanket, drinking hot chocolate but whats usually my favorite part is talking to my family like mostly all the time and sometimes when its really cold outside my mom wont let me go outside but also we get to stay in side and watch Christmas movies while drinking hot chocolate and eating cookies its really fun doing that all in all its fun time with my family
L Bradley (Arkansas)
When its cold outside the things that make me happy are when me and my family are all snuggled up by crackling fire, our favorite Christmas movie is elf
we always watch it on Christmas together by the warm fire. While others like Whip cream On their hot chocolate I enjoy a ton of marshmallows and a long minty stick like figure people call candy canes. I also like a warm fuzzy blanket.
W Campbell (Arkansas)
I like your detail's.
D.Hash (Arkansas)
When it is cold outside I like to stay snuggled in my bed. When I do wake up I do not get dressed. I just stay in my pajamas and watch a Christmas movie while I warm up so hot chocolate to drink. All day I do nothing but relaxing in the warm and cozy house.
Braeden R. (Arkansas)
In the winter I like to sit curled up by the fire sipping hot coco and read a good book. I also talk with my family and talk while eating dinner and then we bond while looking thourgh picture books and watching movies. One are favorites being Ice age. Overall its great time.
m pratt (Arkansas)
nice very nice is that real
B Coble (Arkansas)
On snowy days I like to wake up early and make a cup of hot coco. I put a hand full of marshmallows in it and run off to my room. My dog, Stella right on my heals. Snuggling in my bed with my fluffy blanket and stuff animals all around me, in the quiet morning I lay their and read a adventures story. Some times I feel like i'm in that story.
Karlie J. (Arkansas)
NICE!
Carmen P (Arkansas)
I think what make me me feel cozy on a freezing day . One of my favorite things is waking up in the morning and make hot coco with a tons of wipe cream . One other thing that I enjoy doing is I love putting on fuzzy sock , and putting my hair in a bun then get in the bed. One thing I enjoy is love watching horror / romantic movies . Sometimes I get a book and read a lot because when its cold out the books I read have a setting like the one I have so I picture the story out of my window .So that's what I like to do on a freezing day .
m pratt (Arkansas)
When it's cold outside I like to stay inside with my family and friends. One of my favorite is when my Nana makes her steaming hot tea. It has a sweet flavor to it. I enjoy curling up with my dog by the nice crackling fire. We also make sugar cookies. It has always been a family tradition. Sometimes I like to cuddle up in my fuzzy blanket and watch Christmas movies. Then before bed I will read my books silently.
Jaiden (Arkansas)
I think that is a good thing to do on a winter day
S. Prabhudesai (Arkansas)
When I think of winter, I think of curling up beside the crackling fire and drinking my hot cocoa full of marshmallows before the sun has risen up. I eat toast and look outside at the cold and frosty air, waiting for the sun to rise. I snuggle with my family and drink hot soup and go to sleep bundled up with my blankets.
jacob m (arkansas)
what is cose if you bon´t have a fire place
CW (ar)
I really liked your detail
S. Prabhudesai (Arkansas)
I don't understand what you are saying!
Anne Lewis (<br/>)
This morning I could feel my breath freeze inside my nose.

I get by with:

Snow pants. Call them ski pants if your inner 4th grader is ashamed of adult you wearing them.

A hat with fake fur and ear flaps that discourages conversation from strangers.

Clompy boots with strapped on treads for walking on the ice.

Wool socks that would itch horribly, except that it's, you know, cold. Wool doesn't itch when it's cold.

And mittens.

I drink hot water too.

This isn't hygge proper, I don't think. Nothing cozy about any of this. But I can get to work and live my life.
Elijah A. (Springdale,Ar)
When it's cold outside, I like to stay inside and read books with my family. We talk about last winter and how fun it was. And when you go outside, you feel so happy to go inside, because it is so cozy. And we stay up late playing board games and watching a movie.
caden D. (Springdale,AR)
when it is cold and icy i go out side when ones i go in side i get a nice hot chocolate, in the kitchen. Then i go into the living room and set by the fireplace, talking about things we did that day then i get the iPad and play a nice game by the fire then i would watch dad play: the legend of Zelda: the twilight princess.I would wait my turn and play a game on the Xbox one.That is how i spend my snow days.
Ryan B. (Arkansas)
What I do to keep me happy, productive, and cozy in winter time is to put myself in a fuzzy, warm, and furry blanket and watch t.v. My favorites about the season are that there is no school for 2 weeks which gives me time to relax, play video games, drink hot chocolate, spend time with family, and can watch t.v. and movies. I also like it when it snows, but my dislikes of the season is when it's freezing with no snow. And with 2 weeks of free time on your hands, it can and/or will get boring. All in all, it's a time of chills, spending time with family members, and a time to relax and be stress free.
Maci.S (Arkansas)
I love being able to sit by the fire and drink hot cocoa on a winter day but I don't like not being able to go outside and run free. Instead you have to wear ten layers of coats and then go outside and be all cold. I like cuddling in my blankets and watching Netflix all day but I could be outside doing funner things with my friends. I dislike winter because I am a nature person and I want to be outside playing all around the yard but when it's winter its hard to run and move because it is so cold outside you just stand there in the cold. I like winter because its the season of joy and cheer and and whole new year. It is also Jesus's birthday and my family love to celebrate that. Winter has its up's and it's downs but if I had to pick for winter or summer I would probably pick summer because it is my kind of season. I like to wear shorts and tank tops and get a tan. I like winter still and cuddling up on a cold winter day but I would prefer summer more.
Nancy L. (Arkansas)
When it's cold and icy outside, one of my favorite things to do is sit by a warm fire with my family. I'm wrapped up in my cozy blanket and fuzzy socks while I drink hot chocolate. We talk together about all kinds of stuff like memories or fun times in the snow. It's the perfect time to bond and laugh with each other. If we are not talking then we are watching a movie peacefully. Overall, it is a time for family and being warm.
A Moody (Arkansas)
Your paragraph makes me fell Hygge !
Amare T. (Arkansas)
One of my favorite thing to do while it is cold outside is to do a lot of activities. One of my favorite activities is for friends and family to come over and chill with us. We would play board games and have hot chocolate. Another activity I do when it is cold outside is that I like to play video games. I would play video games with my family, except my mom she doesn't play video games. My last activity I do is play around the house with my cousins and friends. We would turn off all the lights and hide and then someone would have to find us.
Cameron.B (Arkansas)
Good job bro
Amare T. (Arkansas)
Thanks bro!
L Adams (Arkansas)
Good job
J. Daniel (Arkansas)
Ah, I look out the window to see white specks of snow sprinkle onto the ground. I sit on the floor near the fire, gathering as much warmth as I can. My family sit scattered across the living room. My brother and I try to explain to our two younger sisters why there is no school today. A dark navy blanket hugs me tight in it's embrace while I hold a warm cup of hot chocolate in my hand. This is what I think of when I hear the term "snow day."
Evan P. (Arkansas)
One of my favorite activities on a snowy day is to wrap myself in a soft blanket, lay on the couch, and read a good book, like Harry Potter. I also like to get on my computer and play video games on blistering cold days. I enjoy laying in my bed, snuggling my dog while watching tv. I enjoy this because my dog is very soft, and loves to cuddle with people. My favorite food to eat on snow days are sugar cookies. They are so good! I also like to drink hot chocolate with a candy cane in it, and whipped cream on top.
B Presnell (Arkansas)
Good description Evan!
E.Gonzalez (Arkansas)
Good job I fell the same way
Emma-Kate O. (Arkansas)
Winter makes me think of me and my family snuggled up to each other. The smell of hot coco warming in the microwave. my soft,fluffy blanket covering me head to toe. The old record playing in the background while everyone is talking very quietly.My mom serving everyone fresh cookies that just got out of the oven. my little black puppy snuggled up next to the hot fireplace that was warming use all up.
S Davis (AR)
Same
Makenna S. (Arkansas)
One of my favorite activities to do on a snowy day is snuggling up with my fluffy dog by the crackling fire. Sipping on piping hot chocolate makes a blistering afternoon in Arkansas a whole lot better. Baking chocolate chip cookies keeps my mind off of not being able to play outside with friends. Curled up on the comfy couch with a heated blanket watching Star Wars beats out being out in the freezing cold.
L. Thorne (Arcansas)
I love your description!
Megan S. (Arkansas)
I love baking chocolate chip cookies!
L. Wagner (Arkansas)
Friends, Family, and Fun is what comes to my mind when I think about winter time, when it is frosty cold outside and snow is falling from the sky covering the ground in a blanket of snow and friends and family gather around the dancing fire with cups of peppermint flavored cocoa. The lake freezes over and friends and family strap on their skates and bundle up and go out and enjoy the frosty air while skating on the shimmering ice in the falling snow. Then everyone goes inside and sits by the fire wrapped up in blankets and grandma tells stories about winters when she was young.
Damian G (Arkansas)
I think a hot warm blanket make me feel good when I am watching a movie. I also like a warm fire when I am cold.
dgaspar (Arkansas)
nice
L. Thorne (Arcansas)
One of my favorite times of the year is when I can kick back and relax in my cozy cushioned chair while a snow storm turns the fall in to a freezing winter. I love sitting by a crackling fire with steaming hot chocolate almost burning my tongue off and getting all bundled up in a soft, fuzzy blanket. And when it is arctic cold outside and i'm in a warm, cozy home it really makes me realize how lucky I am to have that warm fire with hot chocolate and marshmallows.
M. Wolfe (Arkansas)
This makes me feel all cozy inside! This is a great comment!
Noah H. (aranksas)
One of my favorite things to do on a winter day is to sit in the window watching the snow fall and stick to the ground and cant wait till my parents wake up so i can go out there and play in the snow after I got to cold to handle it then i would go back inside and a good and hot cup of cocoa with a really big marsh mellow on top.then i would run to the fire place and gather as much wormth as i can i head back out for a wile
sjoyner (Arkansas)
Good job! I like your detail about gathering warmth.
Cameron.B (Arkansas)
Good job Noah

Chris K. (Arkansas)
Sitting on my couch, wrapped in blankets, just sipping hot chocolate. A soft, fluffy cat laying on my lap. Turning the fireplace on and smelling the burning scent of logs. My family surrounding me like an army. Exchanging gifts and listening to music. Visiting relatives i haven't seen in forever. These are some of my favorite things that keep me cozy in the Christmas time.
Karlie J. (Arkansas)
Nice!
D Mejia (Arkansas)
When ever its winter, I like wake up and go with my family to go eat breakfast and hang out with them. After that I like to go to the warm fire and just sit there drinking hot chocolate and think about what I have done the few past days. Then a couple days later, winter ends and I have to wait till next year for winter to come again.
M. Wolfe (Arkansas)
Yum! Sipping on a piping hot cocoa is the best on a snowy day. Snuggling up in a fuzzy blanket with a good book makes me feel cozy and warm inside. I enjoy playing board games with my family and watching my dogs play in the snow. I also appreciate sitting by a warm, crackling fire with my cat curled up in my lap. Sugar cookies is a treat I love to eat while watching a movie or home decorating show. The only thing I dislike about snowy days are when I play in it and it feels like it burns my skin. One of my favorite activities is to sit on my cozy couch while playing some games on my iPad. Winter is a season that always makes me feel cozy inside!
Karlie J. (Arkansas)
Love this Miss Wolfe! I like all of these!
M. Wolfe (Arkansas)
Thank you Miss Karlie! That is very nice of you!
Chris K. (Arkansas)
Great description. I love a lot of these too.
Megan S. (Arkansas)
Winter makes me feel like I´m stepping into a human size freezer that is turned six degrees to cold. Winter is the goodbye to blistering hot weather, and hello fridged cold! Icy cold weather makes me think of curling up inside and enjoying a piping hot glass of hot coco. One of my favorite things to do on a cold day is to grab my fuzzy socks, a big thick quilt, and sit close to the crackling fire, while drinking my glass of hot chocolate. I appreciate the view outside of the fluffy white snow that falls slowly out the back window. Snuggling up next to my dog is second in line next to sitting by the hot fire. Overall winter is probably one of my favorite seasons!
Emma-Kate O. (Arkansas)
I liked yours a lot it has a lot of detail
Makenna S. (Arkansas)
I love how you explained every little detail of how the winter cold comes and goes. I also can relate to almost everything that you wrote about. Great Job!!
Michael Morales (Arkansas)
Family, fire, blankets these are the best during winter and a cozy blanket rapped around you with hot chocolate felling warm drinking hot chocolate surrounded by only heat. family around you making you feel warm and snug on the couch.
Fire heating up the house friends and family sitting by the fire as the fire rises.
E.Gonzalez (Arkansas)
When I think of cold, all that comes to my mind is cuddling up with a warm blanket, siting in the couch, and drinking hot cocoa in front of the fire place watching it crackle, waiting for the marshmallow melt.
Lyric B. (AR)
I have the same feeling. I love to watch the snow fall down and watch the fire crackle and drank hot cocoa too.
A Araiza (Arkansas)
Although it may be cold there is always a place were you can stay warm and there is always someone you can be with like a family member like your brother or sister. Also that warm place can be the dancing flame inn your warm and toasty home. So after all those reasons what is there not to love. Lastly there is also the snow its so bright and beautiful so again what is there not to love.
L Barbosa (Arkansas)
One of my favorite things to do on a winter night is wrap myself up with a cozy blanket and sip on a cup of hot cocoa. The smell of the cookies that my mom bakes remind me of each wonderful moment I had with my family this winter season. I also like to sit next to the fireplace and feel the warmth of it while I sit cozy on the floor wrapped around a blanket, eating cookies, and sipping on a cup of hot cocoa.
H. Parsley (Arkansas)
Nothing is better than a snowy winter day and covering my head with a warm, cozy blanket. I love watching the scorching fire rise then fall again. I love the chocolate taste of warm hot cocoa. The one thing that I do not like about winter is that when it is cold outside too much, I want the heat back. I love speeding down a snowy slope in the winter on a sled.
M. Tisher (Arkansas)
To me there is nothing better than sitting on the couch with a blanket and watching HGTV. All of my favorite shows are on there such as flip or flop and fixer upper. What I like to do is make some hot chocolate, the kind that burns your lips. For me there is nothing more relaxing.
W Campbell (Arkansas)
I love fixer upper to their is nothing like some good HGTV.
J Myers (Arkansas)
You put in good detail on the hot chocolate part.
sjoyner (Arkansas)
Good job! I love those shows!
K Chambless (Arkansas)
Something that make me feel cozy is sitting by the fire place and feeling the heat on my back.Also watching Netflix with my family warms me up.Next a nice good cup of hot chocolate makes me feel good.After that a nice, soft blanket helps me stay warm.
J Schmidt (Arkansas)
Winter is the best time of year to get hygge. Even though there are some downsides to winter, there are a lot more upsides. All you need is a warm blanket, family, hot coco and movies. Just kick back and relax with all your family and a hot cup of coco and you are hygge.
C. Rodriguez (Arkansas)
Although summer is my favorite season winter is up there too. In winter i like to drink hot chocolate and watch movies. I'll be sitting in front of the fireplace to get warm. Or i'll be on my phone and drinking hot coco. But what i really love about winter is Christmas. You get to spend time with family and get presents. Most of the time ill be in my room laying down sleeping or be watching TV. And if there's snow outside ill go and play in it. I'll have snowball fights with friends and family. Or i will go to my friends house and hangout with them. Just spend time with friends and family!
L Adams (Arkansas)
One of my favorite thing to do while it is cold outside is to sit by the warming fire and sip my hot cocoa with whipped cream topping. Hot cocoa makes me feel warm inside. Snuggling with my soft, fuzzy blanket reminds me of the time when my family and I were skiing, and we were all sitting by the fire after we were done. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.
Austin J. (Arkansasq)
I do a lot of those things.
Patricia (New Fairfield, CT)
A hike in the snowy mountaina, dinner in front of the fire. Read a dream a while then candlelight and music while snuggled under my soft throw.
Henry A (Arkansas)
Overall, Summer is my favorite season, but Winter does have some perks. In Winter, my favorite thing to do is celebrate Christmas at home. Some people like to go on vacation to the Bahamas, or Florida, or somewhere else, but I like being home where it's cold. The only thing that could have made this winter better, is snow. Snow is one part of winter that I love to have. I like to sled down my steep driveway and make snowmen and have snowball fights. But, when it doesn't snow, I like watching Christmas movies, or playing board games. Another one of my favorite parts of Winter is watching the ball drop on New Year's Eve. There is nothing like starting a new year at midnight when everyone is tired and ready to go to sleep. These are my favorite parts of Winter that make me feel "Hygge"
Kayla K. (Arkansas)
Snow, Family, and friends, what is there not to love about winter! I love sitting by the warm fireplace watching it crackle while drinking vanilla caramel hot chocolate in my soft blanket. It is a time where I see family from faraway and get have fun and bond with them. I also love making sugar cookies with my family it is one of my favorite traditions. I also love the snow. There is so many things you can do in it sled, snowball fight, make igloos, snow angels, and snow cones. The winter season brings a chill to the air, but soon the the season will be gone and not there. ( until next year).
M. Wolfe (Arkansas)
Good description! This is a great comment! Great job Kayla!
Lauryn (Arkansas)
On the cold mornings of winter the warmth of my pajamas makes me want to stay under the blankets forever. The smell of the cocoa brewing and the fire burning reminds me of the winter season. The cookies my mamaws makes remind me of all the good times i've had with my family during this season. I love the feeling of everybody together on these winter holidays. Though this season is great, the cold can sometimes be overwhelming. Overall. this season is truley the most wonderful time of the year.
B Presnell (Arkansas)
What I like to do during the cold days of the winter, is to get some blankets and snuggle up on the couch. While I am on the couch, I like to watch movies with my family. Sometimes at my grandma's we have hot chocolate and sit by the fire.
Carlee Ann G. (Arkansas)
I sometimes make a cave of blankets on the couch to keep warm.
E.Labout (Arkansas)
I like to enjoy some hot chocolate with whipped cream and some tiny marshmallows and cuddle up inside my soft and worm blanket while I am wearing my fuzzy slippers. I also enjoy my moms pancake. I like to eat my pancake with some strawberry, banana, whipped cream, and some syrup at the end. Another thing I like to enjoy is sitting with my family drinking hot chocolate and watch Christmas movie. The last thing I like to do is go to sleep.
M. Wolfe (Arkansas)
Good description! I can picture those pancakes perfectly!
amanzo (Arkansas)
One of my favorite things to do in the winter that keeps me cozy is snuggling up in a warm fuzzy blanket while savoring the taste of a nice warm hot cocoa. I enjoy my soft and furry warm socks . The smell of freshly baked cookies makes my heart warm. I dislike when people turn on a bright light when i'm cuddled up in a ball.
dgaspar (Arkansas)
During winter I like to wrap up in a soft,fuzzy blanket and drink hot chocolate with marshmallows in the top and watch a movie with my family. I like eat pancakes with syrup on top and stay in bed and watch TV with a big soft blanket.
Rosalynn O. (Arkansas)
When its winter I like to rent movies of action and comedy. I enjoy eating the salty popcorn while I'm watching movies. I love to eat pistachio ice cream while I'm snuggling in my blanket. I relax on my noisy bed playing minecraft
Olivia W. (Arkansas)
Hot apple cider, hot chocolate, and snow are all that make winter my favorite. Snuggling up in blankets and watching the fire makes it even better. My family and I go outside and play in the fresh white snow. That is my favorite part about Winter. The only thing I dislike about Winter is the freezing weather making me shiver and shake. Every night I sit by the fire watching the snow fall waiting for morning to come. This is why Winter makes me happy and is one of my favorite seasons.
MeredithD (Arkansas)
I agree that snuggling up in blankets and watching the fire makes it even better, but I also agree that winter is the freezing weather.
Carson (Osarks AR)
Some of my favorite things to do to stay happy during the winter is to sit by the steaming hot fire and feel the heat rub my back as I sit for hours. Another way I keep me happy is a nice plate of cookies and a huge cup of hot chocolate. Personally one of the best ways, to stay happy during the Winter, is to sit down by the fire with the cookies, hot coca and my family with music play about the snow.
I like winter because of the sensational look of the snow fall from the sky to the ground. What i really dislike about winter is the way the snow comes and goes in minutes.
SNL~HMS (USA)
One of the things I enjoy to do in the winter is, snuggle up in a nice warm plush fleece blanket. As well as eat ice cream, with a little bit of hot cherry tea. I have plenty of things I like to do, like, go out Christmas caroling, hang with family, and bake. My family is one of the best things to have during the winter.
Cole Carlton (Arkansas)
One of my favorite things to do during the winter is to curl up with a soft blanket and drink a cold soda and watch TV like college football and have a fire while it is crackling. I like to eat pancakes with butter and warm syrup.
Wynter C (Springdale AR)
dude so do I
Wynter C (Springdale AR)
I like to do that too.
J Myers (Arkansas)
I like to watch college football also.
Braydon T. (HMS)
I enjoy dressing up in comfy pajamas and sitting by the blaring fire while messing with something or watching T.V.. I also like to wrap myself in a blanket while watching the snow fall or the wind blowing the leaves.
I love the winter because I feel like it forces you to snuggle in a blanket or with your family.
MGS (HMS)
I have a special routine for the winter season, especially Christmas break. My routine is to wake up at around 10:00 am, then I let my dogs outside, while they are outside, I fix myself some breakfast and some hot cocoa. I then let them inside and feed them. Next I turn on my Xbox and hook up the guitar so that I can play Guitar Hero. I always take my favorite blue afghan in the living room. I make sure that all of the heaters are on, before I plop down on the couch in snuggle up in my blanket and start to play the game. Some nights we will play board games or work on puzzles, other night we might play video games. I personally am not a fan of winter only because I do not like cold weather. I do however like being able to be home and relax, and not have to worry about school things like homework. I am able to just curl up into a ball on the couch and be care free. I like the winter but do not like winter at the same time.
RosaR (arkansas)
One of my favorite days is when i sip my hot coco and i was siting in the floor with my blanket and looking at the beautiful candle thinking of other people what they were doing.Even thought i was still looking at the candle when i look at the candle it makes me feel happy it reminds me of the bright sun shining bright in my eyes.
Viol (Dublin,Ireland)
I love the person in the "blanket burrito". It looks so comfy. Plus, it reminds me of when I make a pillow fort and play games in it all day!
c palfreeman (arkansas)
What makes me feel cozy in the winter is TV and i have a soft blanket with me and i'm worm and i have hot chocolate. and when the fire place is heated up. I also like to watch the sun come up and watch TV. One of my favorite things to watch on TV is collage football and NFL football.
Annalisa hms (Arkansas)
Your last part about football is what me and my family does.
W Campbell (Arkansas)
I like to watch football too, on snow days.
Smmajano (Arkansas)
My favorite thing to do in a cozy day is snuggling in my bed with a fluffy blanket and some hot cocoa. Then I like to sit by a chimney while reading one of my favorite books . That is a cozy day for me.
A. Owens (Arkansas)
When I think of a cold, frosty winter day all I want to do is snuggle up in my warm, cozy bed with blankets and pillows surrounding me to keep away the coldness of winter. Hot cocoa with a mountain of whipped cream on top is also a must. If I'm not in my bed you will find me on the couch by the fire snuggled up with my family watching holiday movies to get in the spirit. An ideal breakfast would have to be hot steamy pancakes stacked on top of each other one by one. On top a little square of butter already starting to melt and a gallon of syrup dripping of the sides and onto my plate.
AAGUILAR (ARKANSAS)
my favorite thing to do in a cozy day is make some steaming hot chocolate with a lot of white tick whipped cream and tiny marshmallows. Then I go to my bed with my soft fury sandals lay down sipping my hot chocolate. I lay down covering myself with a warm blanket and watch a movie.
Jack Collins (Arkansas)
One of my favorite things to do when it is cold outside is to snuggle up on the couch with my family and slowly drink hot chocolate while watching football. I love to eat warm foods like pancakes and cookies while watching the fire.
A Ambriz (Arkansas)
I love to eat warm food
V.lopez (arkansas)
I think of me in a cozy warm blanket,and drinking hot cocoa at winter night.
I also like to watch christmas movies with my family It makes me thing like if i'm inside the movie.I dislike the coldness rushing through my skin when it's time to wake up.
Rosalynn O. (Arkansas)
I also dislike the cold too Vivian.
A Ambriz (Arkansas)
The way i feel cozy is I stay in a warm cozy chair with some very cold ice cream with very warm chocolate. Also the things i do is watch some movies on my TV and play video games while I drink hot strong coffee with warm glazed donuts.
jgadberry (arkansas)
I think that being by the fire with a warm, fuzzy blanket around me. You also have to have some hot chocolate to slowly sip on. I think that you should watch a movie with your friends and family. warm cookie's will go well with the hot chocolate and you can't watch a movie without popcorn. the most important thing is to sleep.
A. Marvin (Arkansas)
I enjoy sipping a cup of scorching hot chocolate as I sit by the fireplace in a candle-lit room. I fashion a warm onesie and comfortable slippers as I curl up with a nice book. One of my favorite things to do is to sleep in with my cuddly blankets draped on me and my head touching my gel pillow. Winter is obviously not the most enjoyable season.
J Zachry (Arkansas)
When it's cold outside, I like to get up by a fire watch Elf or Christmas Vacation, drink hot chocolate, eat cookies and play with my new stuff. I also like to talk to my family and friends. That's what I like to do when its cold outside.
J Nava (Arkansas)
I think when I sit in front of the warm fire, drinking hot chocolate topped with whip cream and marsh mellows, and covered in a warm and fuzzy blanket with my fuzzy socks while watching Christmas movies in a cold winter day makes me feel cozy. I enjoy being cozy in a warm blanket because it reminds me when I was younger just sitting there in front of the fire and drinking hot chocolate covered in a blanket. I also enjoy eating ginger bread cookies with cold milk while watching TV with my family.
A Moody (Arkansas)
Some of the best things I do in winter is baking warm cookies and watching a Christmas movie . Watching a two hour movie gets my family really thirsty so my mom brings in milk to go along with the cookies . As soon as the movie is done we all cuddle on the couch and fall asleep right before we tell stories .
cwhittenburg (Arkansas)
I think hot chocolate and fresh pancakes make me feel cozy. I like to be wrapped up in fuzzy blankets. It reminds me of a warm coat. It makes me think happy thoughts. I dislike the cold air peeking in through the door, so I go to my bed and snuggle with my dog to keep me warm. One of my favorite things to do is make some hot chocolate and put whipped cream and loads of marshmallows on it!
Natalie C. (Arkansas)
I like how you used idioms and how you describe the cold it gives a lot of visuals.
Rosalynn O. (Arkansas)
Wow, Cyanna I love how you wrote.
A. Marvin (Arkansas)
I enjoy hot chocolate with a lot of marshmallows, too. I dislike the cold just like you. I love how you describe the cold air and the marshmallows.
P Harris (Arkansas)
On a cold, winter day I love to spend time with my mom. I usually run upstairs and put on my most cozy pajamas and slippers I can find. My mom starts to make apple cinder while I find the Hallmark channel. Their cheesy Christmas movies always give me a fuzzy feeling! I grab a mug that my mommy has prepared for me, we find a snug place on the couch. Blankets pile themselves on top of us as enjoy the movie. As the wind picks up outside, a storm bigger in size has picked up in this home!
S Davis (AR)
When It is cold outside, I think you should cuddle around the fire place and watch a clasic movie, while drinking nice warm hot coco with little baby marsmelows in it. I also love to wear my wanzi and laugh and play bourd games with my family and friends. One of the things I dislike is going out in the bittter cold only in my pajamas. The last thing I love to do is have an pillow fight with feathered pillows! Thats what I like to do when it is cold outside and it makes me cozzy!
J Zachry (Arkansas)
hello good job
L Barroso (Arkansas)
I enjoy drinking the warm tasty hot chocolate with whip cream on top while, my family aunts and grandparents enjoy the holiday movie with everyone.

This makes me think of the snowy days at my house when i'm trapped inside and all I want to do is drink hot chocolate and eating a cinnamon rolls .By a warm fire, with a blanket, and siting on a a pillow. watching the sun rise is also a fun thing I do.
Viol Skywalker (Courscant)
I really like the person in the burrito/blanket. It reminds me of when I make a pillow fort and play on my laptop inside. Plus, the infinite tea loop is just amazing!
MarleneR (Arkansas)
One of my favorite things to do in the winter is cuddle up by the fire with a blanket wrapped around me while wearing fuzzy socks. I love smelling all the cozy smells like candles and cinnamon rolls. I enjoy looking at the Christmas lights hung up on the tree and the Christmas music playing softly.

One of my favorite winter activities is to sit by the fireplace and drink hot chocolate. During the wintertime curling up in a blanket and eating cookies on the couch adds to that feeling of coziness. I also enjoy wearing fuzzy socks and sitting on a chair reading a good book. When snow comes it just makes it that much better!
JanetP (Arakansas)

MV (Chicago)
One of my favorite ways to stay warm and cozy on a winter day is to get a warm cup of hot chocolate and whipped cream, and sit on the coach with a warm blanket watching Netflix. Then me and my family would make a delicious coffee cake and wait for it to cook. At that point we would gather at the coach and eat it. And that is just some of the things that make me warm and cozy during the winter cold.

Mason T (AR)
We I think of cozy I think candles roaming the room. Petting the dog or cat while he sleep near the warm fire places. Talking to family member and friends. The TV is playing a movie. Colors can also comfort people. Like the yellow on the picture.
Carlee Ann G. (Arkansas)
On cold winter mornings I prefer to stay in my soft, flannel pajamas. I settle down into a soft chair and pull out a nice book. My mother prepares me a nice meal of toast, strawberry, and orange juice. When I chomp down on my warm toast I watch as the trees outside sway in the winter air. The fire sizzles as it warms me. One of my favorite things to do by the fire is crochet. I enjoy the warmth on my feet from my puppy and my fuzzy wool socks. Winter makes me feel safe and joyful. Sometimes I sink my teeth into a delicious, soft oatmeal cookie. Winter is overall my favorite season.
Jaden Cash (Arkansas)
This is amazing Carlee Ann!

One of my favorite things to do in the winter is to snuggle up to the fire with a cinnamon roll and a cup of hot chocolate.

Peyton W. (Arkansas)
i do the same thing with my fireplace inside
Benjamin M. (Arkansas)
Yes, snuggling up in a blanket by the fire is absolutely the most entertaining thing to do. I can watch the fire for hours and not get bored.
JanetP (Arakansas)
One of my favorite seasons of the year is winter because you can get cozy inside. What makes me feel warm is when my mom makes me and my sisters hot chocolate. Also getting close to the fire place makes me cozy after I finish up my hot chocolate I get a blanket to cuddle along the fireplace while I watch TV.
Benjamin M. (Arkansas)
One of my favorite things to do in the winter is to sit next to the flaming fire place, and stare at it like its a television. Another thing I like to do is to bundle up in a warm blanket, soon getting to comfortable to get up, and eventually falling asleep.
Trey C (Arkansas)
I like your idea about the fireplace! Good job!
Nathan H. (Arkansas)
I also love to sit by the fire and watch the flames. I like to make shapes out of the flames.
Kinley C. (Arkansas)
During the cold season of winter, a brewing fire is ideal. My family and I all pack onto the couch and watch a festive holiday movie. A hot chocolate break then comes after the film, or sometimes during if we can not wait another second. An occasional breakfast of pancakes with any candy topping in the pantry only seems to happen during the coldest days. A peaceful and joyful warmth comes near me most when I am surrounded by my loved ones on a chilling winters night.
JanetP (Arakansas)
This is what I do sometimes watching movies while drinking hot chocolate its so warm and cozy.
RosaR (arkansas)
good job kinley.

John C.P. (Arkansas)
That sounds like good winter.
Wynter C (Springdale AR)
One of my favorite things to do on a cold winter night is lay down on the couch with a blanket and my kittens. I love to watch all the sparks from the fire while eating chocolate cake.
W Campbell (Arkansas)
I like to watch the fire crack too.
Cole Carlton (Arkansas)
Wynter C do you like watching the black birds outside your window??
kameron white (Arkansas)
Winter Comforts! I love the warm heat rolling down my back as I sit next to the hot fire place and how the hot chocolate makes my chilly throat calm down after a long day of snow, how my heart slowly stops hopping after I sit down for some rest with my warm blanket on. Winter is great but, one thing more great is the warm winter comforts.
Kinsley Huber (Arkansas)
Hot chocolate, warm blankets, and family time inside is what I think of when winter comes around. We wrap up in blankets and stay warm and drink hot chocolate. We spend lots of time together. Its especially nice to always have these things when its snowing outside and you can just get all bundled up. Some winter comforts are coffee or hot chocolate and cookies warm socks and blankets and snuggling with our puppies makes it feel like it is not 20 degrees or lower out side. The precious family time moments and fresh sugar cookies are my winter comforts.
jacob m (arkansas)
that sounds hogga
Caelum J'alee Baxter (Arkansas)
Winter to me isn't the best time of the year. One thing I love doing is cloaking my self up in a blanket and sipping delectable homeade hot chocolate. As a tradition I watch the claymatoin versoin of Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer on Christmas Eve with my family.
Jaden Cash (Arkansas)
Winter is a wonderful time of the year. People are more joyful and giving. All worries are washed away. I love Christmas, but I hate winter. Winter is dull, drab, and freezing beyond wonder. It can be magnificent, but for the most part, it is not. To make winter happy I often curl up in a cocoon of blankets. I am often in my room or on the couch watching Christmas movies. Every now and then I will get up to get a snack or drink hot tea. If I don't feel like watching TV then I read a book. If there is anything I love more than watching TV, it's reading a good book. This is how I get "hygge."
John C.P. (Arkansas)
I agree winter is a wonderful time, especially when family is there.
Carlee Ann G. (Arkansas)
This is so great!
jacob m (arkansas)
that is true
Trey C (Arkansas)
One of my favorite things to do in winter is to make some cinnamon toast and sit by the fire. When I'm done with the toast, I make some hot chocolate, and then I get a blanket. After I'm done, I go to the window and watch the snow fall.
Benjamin M. (Arkansas)
Snow is so beautiful in the wintertime. It's, just so relaxing to watch when you are sitting next to the fire.
Bk (Madison, WI)
Wear my flannel pajamas, get a pot of coffee going, a good fire in the fire place, get cozy under a blanket on the couch and it helps if it is snowing outside.
Avi Simcha (Minneapolis)
Despite my screen name, I am of 100% Scandinavian heritage (but am a convert to Judaism, hence a "Scandijewvian", my own little joke).
Winter comfort here in Minnesota is essential. The means to coziness is woven into my genetic heritage to the degree of being done without awareness of the reason or need. Each year around mid-October I develop a deep longing to knit for my family garments of natural fiber yarns. As if led by a force outside myself I head to the local yarn shop to delight in the glorious options, finally settling on a project and a yarn.
Cozy sweaters, woolen socks, Haflinger slippers, and afghans gradually emerge from their summer hibernation spots.
I develop a craving for soups, good bread, and home-baked pastries, best eaten by the fire. The greatest pleasure of all is reading, utilizing the above-mentioned props. If a blizzard rages outdoors, so much better!
Jaiden (Arkansas)
I think that is a good thing to do during the winter.
Cari Coleman (Arkansas)
omg!! winter is the best when u r drinking hot chocolate and sitting by the fire its the best!
Colleen Graves (Cape Elizabeth, Maine)
I'm up early (at 5) and feed my 3 dogs, and give a treat to my 2 cats, Then I make a coffee and pour a cup, wrap up in a wool shawl, (with a kitty snuggled in) and read the NYTimes (On a computer, because I got tired of digging the paper out of the snow bank!).

Perg 209 (Arkansas)
One of my favorite activities on a winter day is to get up nice and early, when it is still dark outside, and make cinnamon toast. I curl up in a cozy chair and watch the sun rise while I eat. A steaming mug of hot chocolate is the perfect drink to sip while everything is still quiet.
PS (AR)
Your comment makes me think of snow days when I was a little girl. For breakfast, my mom would make me a delicious cup of hot chocolate topped with whipped cream, and she would serve it with toast smothered in grape jelly. I would eat the whipped cream first, then I would dip my toast in the remaining cocoa. Even though I am an adult now, I still enjoy this cozy winter delight every winter.
jacob m (arkansas)
the hot chocolat !!!
Jaime z (Arkansas)
This is actually a great idea
