The end of summer has come, and the beginning of winter is here. But, the cold shouldn't stop anyone from having fun in their backyard.

Think outside the box this winter and go outside to party! Stay warm with blankets. Make a bonfire. Play winter games. Take a dip in the outdoor hot tub. Serve warm-you-up food. Let the snow-kissed beauty of the landscape be your primary focus.

You can host an outdoor party even when it's snowing. There are many reasons why you might do this. Snow allows for new activities that aren't possible in the summer. Dogs seem to love it.
