First Day of Winter

You know that first day of winter. Not the date on the calendar that says "First Day of Winter". I'm talking about the day when it's cold and wet and all you want is to sit next to a fire and drink hot tea or hot chocolate. Yeah, well that day should be a holiday, that way people like me wont be so depressed. That day always seems to be right when you don't want to do anything that involves effort or energy. It's always when you feel sleepy or in need of a good long book. At least that's how I always feel. But If it were a holiday maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

Schools should look forward to this day and estimate when it will happen. They should cancel all classes on that day and tell all the students and teachers to stay home and celebrate, and by celebrate I mean nap. 

Everyone should go home and enjoy a warm quiet house. They should avoid using computers or cell phones and all that stuff, and just rest. People can play board games, read books, and drink hot beverages. Non-electric gifts can be given and everyone has to eat soup for dinner. Nobody should change out of their pajamas, and half the day must be spent under a blanket (not counting sleeping at night). People should read the Bible and spend  some extra quality time in prayer. 

So basically this should be a day to be as lazy as possible. There should be very little preparation for this day, just enough so that you can eat and sleep without interruption. Just treat it like everyone used to do Sundays. If we did this once a year I would definitely look forward to the first day of winter. But as it is winter a a rather depressing time. It causes me to have weird/bad dreams, and it always overloads me with school (overload meaning I have to do any school).

Yes this would be a good holiday... ish
