Why we hate the cold

Cold! Isn’t it just wonderful? It’s one of the greatest parts of winter time. How could you dislike the bitter, bone-chilling, teeth-chattering, freezing cold of winter? Like me, it is probably most people's favorite part about the season.
            Ok, so maybe I’m exaggerating a little bit. Ok, maybe a lot. I am sure that most people who have to deal with the harsh winters of Illinois do NOT favor the cold one bit. After all, no one likes getting goosebumps or shivering constantly (or so I would imagine). Runny noses, sickness, and frostbite are all common symptoms of this frigid weather. The cold even makes it harder to get out of bed in the morning!
So as we can all see there are plenty of downers about the winter time. However, although it may be tough to realize, there are also benefits to this season. Even though the cold can be quite unbearable sometimes, we must be thankful for all the seasons that God has given us. Look at the bright side! Snow is a great thing that comes with low temperatures! We also would not have fun winter sports if it were not for the cold. Personally, I think the absolute biggest plus about the lack of warmth in the air is NO BUGS!
Maybe the cold isn’t so bad after all.
