The First Measurable Snow
It's snowing outside.
And it's beautiful.*
Yes, I love snow. Better still, I love hearing my kids squeal with excitement when they look out the window at the world transformed by a blanket of white. Haley has proclaimed that it's "Christmas outside!" and is just giddy. Right now, it's still fresh and white, and looking out my windows, it definitely feels Christmasey. Big ornamental flakes are still falling and I just don't see how anyone could not be in awe at how pretty it is. Mother Nature is pretty darn amazing, if you ask me. Sure, when cold weather goes on and on it does get old, but I will take my four seasons any old day.
I would feel out of place celebrating the most important holiday season in shorts. I don't mind being all bundled up and hearing the crunch of snow under my feet. I like making up a snowball and tossing it at someone. I love checking out all of the fantastic designs the snowflakes take on. I admire how beautiful all the trees look with their coat of white. To look out the window and watch the snow falling is something I could do for hours. I say, BRING IT ON!
* Yes, my dear friend RYAN B., it is beautiful and you are missing out! ;-)
