Remember that you can always flake it til you make it

You arctic what you preach🗻

But soon summer will be here, and the snowmen we've made will just be water under the bridge

Tis the season for enjoying a winter pun-derland. Stay frosty and fabulous friends☃️❄️

The weather is becoming snow joke

And it feels like winter has us in its icy grip

Let's start off with a pun:

Do you carrot all for me?

My heart beets for you.

If so, lettuce be merry.

Our life will never be chard as long as we have each other.
