Songs of Winter

Every single year there are four seasons: winter, spring, summer and fall….whether we like it or not!

Each season offers its own beauty and story. However, the season that most people dread is winter. The biggest downside to winter is the cold weather. But what the winter season has to offer far outweighs putting up with the cold, and it doesn’t stop most people from being excited and looking forward to the new season.

Winter brings us beautiful soft snowfalls, sleigh rides, ice skating, skiing, sitting by a warm fireplace watching the flickering of the flames, and most of all, some of the biggest holidays of the year – Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza and the beginning of the New Year!

The excitement of sharing the holidays with family and friends warms our hearts and souls. The smell of comfort food, the laughter, sharing stories, and listening to holiday and winter songs lift our spirits.

Music, in general, has been known to help healing, raise our spirits, reflect on the past, and look forward to the future.

There have been countless songs written about winter, and especially Christmas.

Who can forget…

• Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

• Winter World of Love

• White Christmas

• Sleigh Ride

• Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree

• Winter Wonderland

• Feliz Navidad

These songs, most of which have been sung by several artists, help to lift us up, enjoy the beauty of the winter season, help us to appreciate Mother Nature and evoke warm memories of past winters and holidays shared with family and friends.

Take the time to think of your favorite song, and as they say, “sing like nobody’s listening.”

The Coping Counselors at the Center for Coping wish you all…

Happy, Healthy Holidays and all the joy the winter season has to offer!
