Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Winter
The Animal Crossing games always had some of my favorite snow, simple spheres gliding down like microscopic fairies. New Horizons times its seasons to yours, so playing the social sim in late December—when the game allows snow to collect on fruit trees like icing on a cinnamon bun—feels delightfully like your memories of winter are coming alive.
Poem: “This is a good world. / The war has failed. / God shall not forget us. / Who made the snow waits where love is.” – “The Snow Is Deep on the Ground,” Kenneth Patchen
