Winter the best season for the believer
The clocks have gone back
Summer time has ended
Beginning of winter
And everyone is in gloom
Illness and depression
Rain and snow
Travel chaos and snow days
Everyone is suffering
One way or another
Amongst this negativity
The believer sees rays of positivity
Winter the best season for the believer
The nights are long
And extra prayers make one spiritually strong
Many quiver
And count the days to spring
When they hear the birds sing
But the believers rejoice
The days are short
And fasting passes with ease
Extra rewards
For the day when nothing will benefit
Except good deeds
The disbelievers get depressed
And book their holidays
Somewhere warm and compressed
Where the sun is hot
As they swim and sun bath
Winter the best season for the believer
As the prayers come in quick succession
One after the other
And the remembrance of Allah lasts all day
The cold days and nights
Are a blessing
As the Muslim’s stay in their dwellings
Prostrating and contemplating
About the blessings of Allah
And making dua for the Ummah

It was reported by al-Haythami in ‘Majma’ az-Zawa’id’ (3/203) with a Hasan chain that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) said: “Winter is the best season for the believer. Its nights are long for him to pray in, and its days are short for him to fast in.”
And Ahmad reported in ‘az-Zuhd’ (p. 118) with an authentic chain that ‘Umar bin al-Khattab said: “Winter is the prize of the worshippers.”

i still disagree brother. Believer or disbeliever, winter is depressing. Allah swt did not create it in man's nature to like winter or to survive it. Our metabolism slows down in winter, our glands release cortisol in high amounts in winter and what not. Why? Cuz winter is not our natural habitat.

I'm a disbeliever who loves winter, btw.
I would book holidays in the summer to visit Lapland ideally.
