O Winter! bar thine adamantine doors:
The north is thine; there hast thou built thy dark
Deep-founded habitation. Shake not thy roofs
Nor bend thy pillars with thine iron car.
He hears me not, but o’er the yawning deep
Rides heavy; his storms are unchain’d, sheathed
In ribbed steel; I dare not lift mine eyes;
For he hath rear’d his scepter o’er the world.
Lo! now the direful monster, whose skin clings
To his strong bones, strides o’er the groaning rocks:
He withers all in silence, and in his hand
Unclothes the earth, and freezes up frail life.
He takes his seat upon the cliffs, the mariner
Cries in vain. Poor little wretch! that deal’st
With storms; till heaven smiles, and the monster
Is driven yelling to his caves beneath Mount Hecla.

And snow
And eggnog

guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
when you're a kid, snow is the absolute best, but adults mostly seem to perceive it as a nuisance

it can also be nice to just cuddle up inside and read a book or something when it gets snowy out
And so much wonderful peppermint stuff (peppermint bark is one of my favorite treats ever). Peppermint should be more of a year-round thing. (Well, I mean you can find mint tea and mint candy year round but around Christmas everything is available in peppermint.)
Cuddling a kitty under a warm (yes, hand-made) blanket is nice too.

Yes!
I love winter, but to be fair, this is kind of true. The really bad parts are such that they really do make the change of pace more satisfying.
