Winter Holiday Quotes

Standart top banner.

Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love.

To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To you, respect.

I heard a bird sing In the dark of December A magical thing And sweet to remember. 'We are nearer to Spring Than we were in September,' I heard a bird sing In the dark of December.

If we had not winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.

Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.

Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.

Perhaps I am a bear, or some hibernating animal underneath, for the instinct to be half asleep all winter is so strong in me.

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.

Gifts of time and love are surely the basic ingredients of a truly merry Christmas.

To many people holidays are not voyages of discovery, but a ritual of reassurance.

But I am sure that I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round...as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely.

There's nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child.

The holiest of holidays are those kept by ourselves in silence and apart; The secret anniversaries of the heart.

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant.

I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old, familiar carols play, And wild and sweet The words repeat Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

I once wanted to become an atheist, but I gave up - they have no holidays.

I have always thought of Christmas time... as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time.

Christmas is for children. But it is for grownups too. Even if it is a headache, a chore, and nightmare, it is a period of necessary defrosting of chill and hide bound hearts.

A lovely thing about Christmas is that it's compulsory, like a thunderstorm, and we all go through it together.

Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home!

Next to a circus there ain't nothing that packs up and tears out faster than the Christmas spirit.

At Christmas play and make good cheer, for Christmas comes but once a year.

Christmas is doing a little something extra for someone.

Christmas gift suggestions: To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance.

There’s something quite comforting about curling up in front of the window with a warm blanket on a winter’s afternoon. The world outside glistens from the snow and ice. And the need for hot cocoa is very real.

Yes, it is cold out there. But as much as we like to moan about the weather, about the icy winds and sunless skies, the winter brings a moment of calmness to the world.

It's as if nature itself is telling us to slow down; to take a step back from our fast-paced lives and adopt a more laid-back approach.

So, let's wrap up warm and embrace the cold season. It's the perfect time to reflect; to spend quality time with loved ones. And, to appreciate the simple joys in life.

Why Should We Embrace the Cold Season?

‘Tis the season to throw on hats, scarves, gloves, warm boots, thick coats… And, still complain about how cold our toes are. It’s as if we’re pre-programmed to see a snowflake and initiate ‘Cold Weather Moaning Mode’.

But, even with all the grumbling, there's no denying that winter is a beautiful season.

From the grass twinkling with frost to the extreme marshmallow mountain on top of every hot cocoa, the winter adds a magical filter to everything it touches. It’s like a fairy tale that smells of cinnamon and shimmers like stars.

That might sound corny. But, there are so many amazing moments that only happen during the colder seasons, like making snow angels or finding $10 in your old winter coat.

And for many of us, as the nights grow longer, so does the time spent with friends and family. We’re more inclined to reach out and make plans , dust off the board games, and rewatch our favorite holiday movies, like Home Alone, or Gremlins.

Sure, it’s cold when we first unpeel the bed sheets. And yes, it takes 3 times as long to get ready thanks to the umpteen layers of clothes needed just to avoid frostbite.

But if we choose to hide away, with our faces buried in scarves as we shuffle along the streets, we'll miss out on all the beauty and joy that only winter can offer.

As the lyrics go, ‘Baby, it’s cold outside’. But that doesn’t mean we can't embrace the chill and warm our hearts, as seen in these winter quotes.

I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, ‘Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.’ Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

We feel cold, but we don’t mind it, because we will not come to harm. And if we wrapped up against the cold, we wouldn’t feel other things, like the bright tingle of the stars, or the music of the aurora, or best of all the silky feeling of moonlight on our skin. It’s worth being cold for that. Philip Pullman, The Golden Compass

At this season of the year, darkness is a more insistent thing than cold. The days are short as any dream. E.B. White

We hope you loved these amazing winter quotes and feel ready for that first cold snap to usher in the season.

The temperature drops, the days get shorter, and frost and snow cover the ground. Winter brings an abundance of amazing scents and smells, from baking gingerbread to mulled wine, pine trees and woodsmoke.

There’s really nothing quite like the first snowfall of the year, blanketing the ground with white and inviting children everywhere outside to build snowmen and have snowball fights. So enjoy the season and appreciate the beauty of winter while you can!

5 Must-Give Winter Break Homework Assignments

Jen Schneider Blog , Reading 0

This post contains some affiliate links. Purchasing from these links helps me keep this blog running to share education ideas with this community. Thank you for supporting teachers! It’s almost winter break and your students are going to be at home with family, eating, possibly playing video games, and maybe even enjoying some snow! You want to make sure they are learning, right? Winter break homework is essential! Send home these 5 assignments to give over winter break to make sure your students come back to school ready to learn!

1. Be kind.

Kindness doesn’t cost a thing. First, encourage your students to choose kindness every time they can. Hold the door open for a stranger, bite their tongue when they really want to snap at a sibling or a parent, and do a needed chore without being asked. #Bekind may seem like a trendy mantra for schools, but it’s really a way of life that spreads the holiday spirit. Winter break homework should be all about kindness!

#BeKind can't just be a hashtag. We have to live and model it to our Ss every day. In your words online and in person, show those around you at even though it can be tough to #choosekindness , you never know what someone is going through. Learn their story and #bekind . pic.twitter.com/ACymQgmuVz — Jen Schneider (@jenmschneider) August 7, 2018

2. Sleep in.

Teachers, students, parents all deserve some rest! When we get time off, we should use it to let our bodies relax. School starts so early for most kids, so give them an assignment to sleep in a bit (with parental permission and without sleeping the whole day away, of course)!

3. Spend some time with people you care about.

No matter what holiday (if any) your students celebrate over the break, hopefully they will be surrounded by people who they love and care about. Keep in mind, this isn’t the case for every student in your school.

For some, school is their happy place, and home is not the best place to be. For these (and really all) students, make sure they know how much you care before they leave for the break. I don’t send my 100+ middle schoolers home with gifts (I have to watch my wallet too), but I try to let them know every day (through words and actions) that I really do care about them. If you’re worried about a student being safe over break, you should let a counselor know. If it’s more than just a worry, make sure to go through the proper channels to report suspected abuse.

4. Take a nap.

Even if your students slept in, they could take a nap (provided they wake up before nap time). I promise, I will be taking a mid-day snooze on December 26 after my sugar cookie coma and Lego overload (holy cow my daughter has some Legos under the tree. . .shh. . .) subsides!

5. Read. . .anything.

OK, this sounds like a true homework assignment, but I am simply recommending for my students to read ANYTHING over break. Turn on the closed captioning on YouTube videos and Netflix shows. Read a blog post or a web article about Minecraft. Take a trip to the library and check out the latest Neal Shusterman Scythe book or an inclusive LGBTQ YA title . Anything goes over winter break. JUST READ!

Here are a few favorite titles I recommend!

Elementary Readers:

• Pax by Sarah Pennypacker

Middle School Readers:

(My middle schoolers recommend these titles!)

• The Girl Who Was Supposed to Die by April Henry

High School Readers:

• I’ll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson

These 5 homework assignments to give over winter break will have your students back to school refreshed and ready to learn in January! Of course, sending students home with bundles of worksheets, packets, and work is not recommended. “Homework” should be about enjoying time with family and a well-deserved break for teachers and students!

Wisdom for the Winter Season

Writers lend their wisdom to persevere through winter with these winter quotes.

Nancy Snyder

I am a left coast native and writer; my working life began after studying at San Francisco State University; I have been an office worker and a labor organizer; longtime freelance writer covering books and labor and assorted cultural and political issues.

When is winter here? We say to each other, year after year, “it’s too soon for winter,” grinning at the thought of bearing the cold.

When winter begins is arbitrary. It may be that winter begins with the first snowfall or winter begins immediately after Thanksgiving. Winter is here when in a final whoosh of cold November wind all the red leaves are blown from the trees and the days remain grey.

As readers and writers, we go to the great books for wisdom. As I thought of winter and how writers present this season of cold perseverance, I drifted upon some indelible images of winter: the beauty of snow on bare trees or the hint of bacchanalia after closing the long curtains against the winter storms as imagined by Thomas DeQuincy, author of  Confessions of an English Opium Eater.  

Winter brings the inevitable meditations of mortality and melancholy – somewhat tempered by hopes of the spring season‚winter’s color remains blue.

“The snow doesn’t give a soft white damn Whom it touches.” —E.E. Cummings

“Wisdom comes with winters.” —Oscar Wilde

“Spring, summer, and fall fill us with hope; winter alone reminds us of the human condition.”  —Mignon McLaughlin

“There’s a certain Slant of light, Winter Afternoons— That oppresses, like the Heft Of Cathedral Tunes—

Heavenly Hurt, it gives us— We can find no scar, But internal difference, Where the Meanings, are—

None may teach it—Any— ’Tis the Seal Despair— An imperial affliction Sent us of the Air—

When it comes, the Landscape listens— Shadows—hold their breath— When it goes, ’tis like the Distance On the look of Death—”   —Emily Dickinson (258)

“Winter solitude— in a world of one colour the sound of the wind.”  —Matsuo Basho

“Snow was falling, So much like stars filling the dark trees that one could easily imagine its reason for being was nothing more than prettiness.” —Mary Oliver

“Melancholy were the sounds on a winter’s night.” —Virginia Woolf, Jacob’s Room

“Are the days of winter sunshine just as sad for you, too? When it is misty, in the evenings, and I am out walking by myself, it seems to me that the rain is falling through my heart and causing it to crumble into ruins.” —Gustave Flaubert, November

“Spring passes and one remembers one’s innocence. Summer passes and one remembers one’s exuberance. Autumn passes and one remembers one’s reverence. Winter passes and one remembers one’s perseverance.” —Yoko Ono

“It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.” —Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

“Surely everyone is aware of the divine pleasures which attend a wintry fireside; candles at four o’clock, warm hearth rugs, tea, a fair tea-maker, shutters closed, curtains flowing in ample draperies to the floor, whilst the wind and rain are raging audibly without.” —Thomas De Quincy,  Confessions of an English Opium Eater

“Well, I know now. I know a little more how much a simple thing like a snowfall can mean to a person.” —Sylvia Plath,  The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“Winter is not a season, it’s an occupation.”  —Sinclair Lewis

“No animal, according to the rules of animal-etiquette, is ever expected to do anything strenuous, or heroic, or even moderately active during the off-season of winter.” —Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows

“Winter then in its early and clear stages, was a purifying engine that ran unhindered over city and country, alerting the stars to sparkle violently and shower their silver light into the arms of bare upreaching trees. And what it did to Northern forests can hardly be described, considering that it iced the branches of the sycamores of Chrystie Street and swept them back and forth until they rang like ranks of bells.” —Mark Halprin,  Winter’s Tale

“If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.” —Anne Bradstreet,  The Works of Anne Bradstreet

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” —Percy Bysshe Shelley,  Ode to the West Wind

“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.” —Albert Camus

6 Creative Assignment Ideas to Make Your Students’ Holiday Homework Fun

Jump to Section

The term ‘holiday homework’ raises a collective groan when you mention it in class. The last thing your students want to do during their holidays is spending more time with their noses buried in textbooks. But who said homework had to be a dull and dreary activity? There’s plenty of time and then some to learn concepts at school; holiday homework can focus on skill-building and be a lot more fun! Here’s a list of top creative assignment or homework ideas to help students take the ‘work’ out of homework, and replace it with a whole lot of fun! 

“Assignment 1: For the Filmy Fans”

As a life coach who holds film therapy workshops in Bengaluru, Rohit Sasvehalli believes that movies can have a deep impact on the psyche when approached consciously. “Pick a specific concept the child wants to learn about, say Apartheid. Ask them to watch a movie like Invictus to understand the tensions in South Africa. It will invoke an explorative mindset,” says Sasvehalli. Give your students a choice of topics and movies to watch, review and write an essay or make a presentation on what it got them thinking about. Surely your students aren’t about to complain about watching a movie or two!

Do you see any budding filmmakers in your class? Mentoria’s holistic  career assessment test  could help them discover their calling by uniquely combining their interests and abilities! Find out more about the test here:

“Assignment 2: For the Wanderlusters”

Families often set out on trips during the holiday season. A trip is often a great platform to learn about new places and new cultures. Ask your students to document every bit of their travel, discover fascinating aspects about the place they’re visiting and turn their findings into a fantastic travel presentation for the class! It could cover a long vacation or even a day trip to the museum, beach or a nearby park.

“Assignment 3: For the Bookworms”

This creative assignment may not appeal to all your students, but the voracious readers in your class will surely welcome some binge-reading over the holidays! For this set of students, assign a list of books they can review over the holidays. Encourage them to get a library membership or even a Kindle, if they’re more accustomed to reading digitally. Give them a mix of fiction and non-fiction titles that will broaden their knowledge and urge them to think. It doesn’t have to strictly follow the curriculum; books on current events will also help them get a better perspective of what’s going on in the world.

Assignment 4: For the Crafty Ones

Do you see your students stumbling over certain difficult topics in class? Ask them to bring out their ‘crafty’ sides over the holidays and turn those concepts into flashcards!  Flashcards make learning easier , and making them will help your students hone their artistic skills!

Budding artists need guidance, and that’s exactly what we provide here at  Mentoria !  Speak to our expert career counsellors  about your future career path, or listen to the experiences of industry professionals in your field. Here Commercial Artist Mrs Krupa Patil shares what a day in her life looks like:

Assignment 5: For the Volunteer Wonders

A school in New Zealand recently got its students involved in building an outdoor classroom and won an award for creativity! Volunteering as a homework idea will help them understand the kind of problems the world is facing, put things in perspective and also help them learn how to work in a team! You could give them a list of places they could visit over the holidays or plan a class trip yourself. Let them volunteer at an animal shelter, old-age home or orphanage, where they can perform different activities like maintaining the gardens, teaching other children, reading to the elderly, or even organising a performance for the underprivileged.

Assignment 6. For the Budding Philosophers

If your students are at a stage in life where they have critical future decisions to make, ask them to ‘introspect’ over the holidays. What makes them happiest? Which activities do they most look forward to? What piques their interest and what fails to grab their attention? Give them a homework idea and ask them to write a detailed summary of their interests and how they could translate into a career option a few years down the line. If they’re confused, ask them to opt for professional guidance that will help them discover who they really are and what they should pursue in the future. We can help with that.  Students with clarity on their future are likely to be less stressed in class and focus better on their academics!

Holidays are perhaps the only time when students can study at their own pace without the looming burden of a jam-packed schedule. The holidays give students enough time to explore their interests and  use them to enhance their studying technique . Don’t overburden them with lesson plans and tough projects; instead, let them focus on building skills, exploring interests and making the most of the holiday season both in terms of education and entertainment!

We at  Mentoria  know that holidays can be crucial during high school, and students are busy figuring out what stream they want to enter. We try to make it easier for you.
