"Summer is good. We don't have summer now;
We have winter. We are very $#@% cold here!"
Your grammar is fine; this makes perfect sense. But SuStel has a point:
{ghaj} usually refers to ownership or physical possession. The meaning
you are trying to express doesn't necessarily fit the word you used.
(Of course, there's no reason to believe it *is* the wrong word.)
Seasons are periods of time. They usually "occur" -- consider {qaS}.
