White Christmas?

We got some snow flurries today.  Despite coming down pretty heavily at one point, it was quite picturesque and definitely made me smile.

It’s December after all.  And it is has been years since we actually had a white Christmas, let alone any sort of significant snowfall.  I’m sure today’s precipitation will be gone long before Christmas but it was still nice to see.  Who knows?  Maybe we’ll get some more before Christmas gets here.

Don’t get me wrong.  Getting tons of snow can be a pain in the ass.  When there is so much that roads are not passable and you can’t even get your car out until the snow plows come around can put a real wrench in your plans.

But today was simply lovely.  We had a few flurries a week or two ago but this was actually enough to put a light dusting (a very light dusting) on the ground.

My son, who now lives in Los Angeles, is home for the holidays and he was quite excited to see the snow.  The first snowfall he has seen in two years so it was special for him.  That made it special for us too.

So whether you love snow or hate it, I encourage you to enjoy it when it is light and picturesque.

Ho, Ho, Ho!
