kids who grow up in the harsh winters have to be tough. You don’t have everyday chores, you have to go to school regardless of the weather (except for that one exception) and you have minimal sunlight for 5 months of the year. However no matter what you make the most of it, weather you a cuddled up at home, on a ski resort or in your back yard, it becomes one of your favourite times of year for a reason. Let these 14 moments bring you back to your child hood, how many did you experience and what have we forgotten?
