Yesterday, December 1, it was almost like the weather was following a script designed to make it feel more like Christmas around here. We woke up to a chilly morning, and throughout the day, the temperatures dropped. Folks, it's COLD out there now (well, cold is a relative term and in this case refers to the temperature dropping below 50 in Southeast Texas).
The weather people are prediciting possible snow on Friday. SNOW! In Southeast Texas! It snowed here last year too, for the first time in 30 years. I remember Mike got up in the middle of the night to get a drink or something, and he woke up me saying "baby... it's SNOWing!" The wonder and excitement in his voice was a beautiful thing, and like children on Christmas morning, we got up and got dressed and went out to take pictures in the snow at 3am. The next morning we woke up to find a beautiful white town, and until about noon that day we got to enjoy the postcard effect on our town.
I hope it snows again this year. Even if it doesn't, the cold weather outside is getting me in the mood for Christmas. It's cold outside, warm in my office, I have instrumental Christmas music playing on the pandora, and the office tree is set up and cozy warm, decorated in shades of red and gold.
Is it really only December 2? I love this season for so many reasons. I love the warmth that I feel each year. I am ready to welcome Christmas.
In the eternal words of the Whoville song...
Welcome Christmas
While we stand
Heart to heart
And hand in hand
Welcome welcome
Christmas
Christmas Day

We had snow this morning. Mags used to love the snow before we moved here. It has been so long since she had any to play in she forgot what to do with it. It was fun to watch Sadie and Baby Bean's reactions to it though. I took pictures and put them on FB for you.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Pandora is the bomb!
We have snow here now, but that's not unusual for our area. What's unusual is that we haven't had much of it before. The results of the snowstorm we had in October had long disappeared and nothing more until Dec. 1.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to start decorating for Christmas.
It rarely snows in London. Mind you, it rarely snows in the South of the UK anywhere and that's where I've always lived. This is a tragedy.
ReplyDeleteWhat's worse it that we seem to be going for record levels of rainfall. There's no way to make rainfall Christmassy.
