I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
This morning when I took the boys to school it was 39 degrees. As Luke and I were standing outside his school waiting for them to let us in, I thought, "you know, if it started to rain right now, it might even snow." But, Alas, they don't call Florida the sunshine state for nuthin. It'll be 60 before the day is through. I overheard two parents on my way out of the school saying that it's "just too cold. I don't know how people live in the north." Meanwhile I've been looking longingly at the pictures of all the snow in people's yards. I've heard of the ice storms going on the parts of the midwest. Call me crazy but it all seems, sort of, romantic to me. That is how weather is supposed to be this time of year. There's not much better than sitting by a lit Christmas tree with a hot beverage watching the snow come down while your children play at your feet. An ice storm? Sounds great. To be locked in your house with nothing to do but play games and listen to Christmas music while snuggled under layers of sweat pants and blankets? Why, that's just how God intended it to be. I'm sure come February I'll be so glad it's not cold here but for now, I can't wait till Friday when we get to load up the car and head north.
