Snowflakes and Christmas Trees

Ahhh, the first snow of the season. As the radio stations have been playing Christmas music already, it seemed wrong without snow. But now its a whole different story.

There's something about snow that is so wonderful. The way it falls, the way it takes the color out of the world around you and makes white such a beautiful statement of mother nature. I don't know what it is, but this season has such a different feel to it than the others. Although its cold outside, it seems to have a warm feeling to it. Maybe its because the winter season brings people together, whether it be just hanging out inside because its too cold to go outside, or the holidays. Its a time of sweaters, earmuffs, snowball fights, and hot chocolate. Here are some of the things I love about winter:

• The natural flush and blush look the cold wind gives my cheeks
• The crunch of the snow under my shoes
• Christmas, of course
• Sitting in the dark, with only the Christmas tree giving off light
• All my family and going home for the holidays

I hope you see some good in this time of the year. Especially when your scraping the ice off your car and cursing because your late. Just take the time watch the snowfall and you'll forget about everything else.
