Day Three Hundred and Fifty-Four:  White Christmas

Since the next five to seven days are consumed by Christmas cheer for me I am going to try to either tone it down in every post or leave the overly Christmas posts to Christmas Eve and Day, but what I wanted to chat about today was my love for a “White Christmas” in all of its glory.  Up until I was maybe fifteen I had known nothing but White Christmases, getting snowed in at Grandma’s, a light snowfall to watch on Christmas eve as we go around on our Christmas light watch as a family.  There has alwys been a white blanket of snow covering my lawn around the holiday season, but for the past few years there hasn’t, and not just because I spent my 2011 holiday season in Costa Rica, there just hasn’t been any snow.

So when it snowed early last week I got very excited.  December, and its snowing?  Not since I was a freshman in highschool have I seen this, and now it is  freezing rain and warming up, and I swear if it isn’t a snowy Christmas I am going to be so disappointed.  There’s nothing like waking up Christmas morning to snow, and bundling up for Christmas Day travel and needing a warm beverage when you arrive. 

The funny thing is is that if the snow disappeared January first I would be happy about it.  The month of December is the only time where I crave the snow.  All I’m dreaming right now though is that the snow sticks around for another five days at least and then enjoys a short stay before heading off before my birthday.   My odds are looking good, but who knows!  Canadian weather these days has become unpredictable at best.  Here’s hoping!
