In WH, we see the adventures of three sets of young people, mostly pre-teen in age, having fun with ice skating, building an igloo of sorts with packing a lot of snow onto the hut, and yet, there was never any SNOWBALL fight, which under those circumstances, would seem to be the normal traditional thing to do, all in fun, of course. The only two snowballs thrown were essentialy used as attention getters, and both were thrown, not at anyone, but at a window. When they all went to Beckfoot to get advice from Nancy, they got her attention by Peggy throwing a snowball at Nancy's window. When Nancy finally made it to the North Pole, she awakened the D's who were already inside by hitting a window with a snowball.
These young people sure did get along well with each other. They surely missed quite a few chances to have a great snowball fight. And for that matter, they never built a SNOWMAN either.
Oh well. I'll settle for them sailing their sledges.
And Nancy seemed in some other books to be the one to want to have a "War."
