The Ten Blogs of Christmas (#10)

I haven't written a blog in awhile so I decided to do one a day to count down to Christmas.

Ten--isn't it usually twelve?

(I was going to do twelve but I sort of missed two days--heh, heh, oops.)

Anyway, so these blogs will talk about ten reasons why I love this holiday oh so very much.


REASON #10

SNOW

Yes, it is a pain to drive in but it just isn't Christmas without the white stuff. Just picture this scene---it's Christmas Eve and you're sitting by a fireplace (alone or with a sweetheart--if you have one). You're drinking hot cocoa (Stephen's--of course) and are snuggled up in a soft, warm blanket. As you debate about whether you're going to go to bed or wait for Santa a little longer you glance out the window. What do you see? Falling crystals against the dark of night. Glittering flakes of pure, white snow. Untouched by the hands of man or beast. It is the definition of serenity.

Oh man, I love snow at Christmas! I love that it covers the earth in white. It's so beautiful! I don't think I really have to say much else. I guess you could listen to "White Christmas" if you need further explanation. (Hmmm--good idea). I don't know how I would handle Christmas in a warm climate (well, Hawaii wouldn't be so bad). In the recipe for a "Perfect" Christmas, snow is a must--for me.
