Personal Narrative Essay: The Snow Day In The Day Of Winter

Improved Essays
The feeling of waking up from the coziness of the covers with no desire to leave for fear of the unavoidable goose bumps the morning air brings causes a person to dart for the heater, to feel the warmth while the coldness slowly fades away. This crisp feeling the cold brings makes the warmth that much more of a fulfilling sensation. The season that allows a person to no longer feel inconvenienced with their wardrobe but to have the satisfaction of the simple comfort of a knit sweater. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee lingers all over the house causing immediate alert of the upcoming day. Just when the dread of the day ahead begins to sink in, the surprise outside is breathtaking: the frost aligns on the windows, the white fluffy snow lays, …show more content…
It is a mini vacation that wasn’t planned, an opportunity to catch up for a second in the midst of the chaos that the end of a semester brings. The day that allows a person to find their inner child when building a snowman or a snowball fight. The fun becomes so intense, the numbness from the coldness seems to be nonexistent. The multiple layers of clothing no longer feel dry as one waddles back into the warmth. It’s a day for bonding in one way or another between playing in the snow to just watching a couple episodes on Netflix and sipping on Swiss hot cocoa. A snow day is just one of the reasons Winter is viewed as a top pick of all the …show more content…

It teaches children lessons as they grow that it’s not a holiday meant only for receiving presents but the intention behind it. All while in preparation for this day people make family traditions on who gets to put the star on top of the tree to Christmas caroling. It’s a day that every kid waits up all night trying to hold back from closing her eyes to catch a glimpse of the Santa Clause. The waking up and ignoring the cold floor as walking across in a blanket still wearing pajamas and the whiff of pine clarifying its Christmas. People look forward to Christmas as an opportunity for a religious purpose and to come together on one day of the year to catch up with family members that live halfway across the country. Winter includes the favorite season of most people,

    For one family a snow day will bring out the best in them and the worst in them. They will get to experience several emotions. Family is everything, and regardless of what they do or how they act , there is always going to be a special bond between family. " Let it Snow" by David Sedaris was a powerful story because the plot was dysfunctional, amusing, and through everything he showed a family that was loving and devoted to one another. Dysfunctional is definitely a true description of the family in this story, I was in disbelief of some of their actions.…

    It is when I get to see relatives that I would not get to see otherwise. It is an event where I get to catch up with these people and update them on my life and hear things they have done in the past year. My personal favorite part about this holiday is talking and getting advice from my older cousins about anything that is on my mind. I hope when my younger relatives grow up, they can rely on me for advice and information on topics just as I do with my older cousins. I think it is interesting seeing how my family tree advances and how it updates each year with changes such as births and people growing up.…

    Soft whooshing sounds rose up from beneath my skis as they slid across the soft crystal like snow glistening in the bright winter sun. The cool and crisp air was the ideal temperature for a day of skiing, not too cold to make it uncomfortable, but still cold enough to keep the snow from melting and turning slushy. With these snow conditions and bright blue skies above, all in all, it looked to be a perfect day for skiing with my family. Accompanied by my Mom, Uncle, and 4 cousins, we woke at the crack of dawn, packed the car with equipment and snacks, and began the hour and a half trek to Mount Sunapee in New Hampshire. At best, my level of skiing competence could be described as advanced-beginner.…
