I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas


Being from Minnesota, and not a lover of cold and winter and snow, I think the idea of a "white" Christmas is over-rated. Now, if I had moved away to a warmer region, maybe I would appreciate the sentiment more. Or at least fantacize about the romantic notion of it all. But, I'm sorry to say, I don't dream of having a white Christmas. I actually thought about making up lyrics to "I'm Dreaming of a Brown Christmas." Something to the effect of not having to worry about bad roads when traveling, not having plans ruined or derailed because of the weather, and not being chilled to the bone every time I go outside.
This Christmas, we had the epitome of a white Christmas complete with plenty of inches of the fluffy stuff that later became heavy and dense which was perfect snowman weather. It also meant cancelling plans and worrying about the roads. On the bright side, we got some good outdoorsy pictures.

Snow fun! ha ha!

On one hand, I was booing the snow because it meant not seeing you (& several others) at church on Christmas day.

On the other hand, we were thankful for the snow as it provides insulation for the septic system - - which is especially important considering the brutal cold we've had.

You look beautiful with your dark hair & red coat against the white background. See! Snow is great! ;)
