Once a year, we are delighted by snowflakes tickling our cheeks and snowmen smiling at us, as if the whole world was as lovely as this season. In other places, people might be getting a tan in the beach or making sandcastles. If you look in the dictionary it will simply say winter means “coldest month of the year” but winter is much more than that. Winter is a time to play and sing, a time to celebrate and cheer, a time to remember. As you travel the world, you hear other languages being spoken, languages you don’t know.
