Contest: How do you enjoy the winter season?

in hive-109435 •  last year 

I think this is a nice topic for a contest, so I will participate with a short answer. Here it goes:

How long does the winter season exist in your country?
Actually, my country is divided in the lowlands bordering th sea, on both sides Caribbean and Pacific, and the inner area which is mountainous. Of course the coastal areas are way hotter and winter is not so noticeable, in the mountainous areas it gets much colder but here it never snows, even though it is reported that in some of the tallest mountains it has on rare occassions. I live on the coast so that is what I can talk about.

We have only two seasons, we can call them summer and winter, even though dry and rainy would be more apt. Summer runs for about eight months, from February to October, not that it doesn't rain all that time, just that you can go several weeks with completely dry spells and incredibly hot days. Then at the end of October Winter creeps in. Winter is when we get rain, lots of rain and temperatures fo down. Now when I say down it just means we can see 20 degree Celsius temperatures, not really cold, but the wind does m ake it feel colder than you would think. The coldest it ever gets around here is about 15 degrees and that is in January.

February is still a wet month, with plenty rain and temperatures still kind of low, we have a lot of wind but we know winter is coming to an end, This is the month when the school year starts again, so we go back to normal, just waiting for the heat to come back once again.

What is your area's winter tradition?

Winter here is equal to Christmas, people here celebrate Christmas in a big way, some celebrate it in the old Spanish way some celebrate it in the USW way, but celebrate it they celebrate it. Food, booze, song, party, wishes, visiting all is done and it starts in the second half of December and it doesnt't even finish on Christmas it goes on until after the sixth of January. After that date reality hits, everybody is broke and the new year finds everybody having to work to recover all that was spent celebrating the festivities. It is always a great time though.

Cold or hot? Which one do you prefer? tell us the reason

I would like it warm during the day and cool at night. That would make me very happy.

What are your favorite clothes in winter?

With the temperature never going below 15 degrees Celsius, I can wear the same clothes all year round. Actually if it gets below 20 in winter a relatively thin jacket will serve me well enough, so I need nothing special.
