No one actually like winter. Everyone just likes the idea of winter

Whenever I hear someone say winter is the best season, their reasons are either romanticizing the season (ie. Hot cocoa by the fireplace while it gently snows out) or MUCH more commonly they'll say it's their favourite season for what winter isn't (Relief from heat, etc).

I've never heard a single person say Winter was their favourite season for the reality of what it brings in the northern latitudes (early sunsets, below freezing temps, shovelling/scrapping off your car)

Edit: there's A LOT of comment proving my second point
