Description

Winter in the Northern Hemisphere begins in December and brings a blanket of cold and snow to many regions. The days are shortest and the nights longest, with the winter solstice marking the official start of the season around December 21st. Snowflakes drift gently to the ground, covering landscapes in a serene white coat. In cities and towns, festive decorations light up the streets, celebrating holidays like Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year’s Eve. People bundle up in warm clothing, gather by fireplaces, and engage in winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding, and ice skating. Meanwhile, the Southern Hemisphere enjoys the height of summer, with long days, beach outings, and vibrant festivals.
