A WHITE Christmas
Okay, okay so most of you don't think that having a white Christmas is a big deal, but I am visiting my parents in DEEP South Texas, think the very southern tip, and the last time there was any recordable snow was 1895. It snowed once when my Grandad was a young man, but that was just a bit on the ground. Anyway, the conditions were just right and we had a white Christmas!
Yes, yes I have lived in a bit of snow and ice before, but not in this area. I didn't believe the weathercasters yesterday! It started snowing last night about 11pm and when I woke up this am, before 7 (really too early for me) everything outside was covered in snow! We took so many pictures and then had snowball fights.
I know some of you are in the snow all winter and don't think this is all that big of a deal, but this is the place where a couple of days ago, I was wishing for my shorts and t-shirts! I was in the 80s a few days ago and will be again 80 in a few days! What fun!
I do have to say that I wouldn't want to live in the snow and ice everyday. My parents lived in upstate NY and Iceland for a few years and their stories are enough for me. This taste on Christmas was just enought for me.
Merry Christmas!
