Baby It’s Cold Outside

Welcome back!

This morning we received a literal truckload of snow. I love it! Made my husband a cup of coffee, put on my Christmas music and gazed out our bay window while the mister shoveled the driveway.

My kids are loving it too and are praying for a snow day tomorrow. For those with kids too young for school or who haven’t had the pleasure of a school snow day – this means no school and you better find something for your kids to do.

I had to shake my head. I’m sure we use to get much more snow back when I was a kid and there were no “snow days.” I know I’m sounding like everyone’s grandparent talking about how rough things were in the good ‘ol days, but what’s with this mass hysteria the minute we get some snow?

Yes it makes driving a little treacherous, so you take your time. Basically if you live in the northern part of our continent, that’s just life at this time of year (unless we’re having one of our heat waves that are due to global warming).

This morning I tried to watch my regular Sunday morning network news show and it was preempted so that we could stare at the Boston local station’s no-name news crew repeat no less than 450 times that it was snowing outside. Totally annoying!

Well one good thing about days like this is it puts us in the mood to do all kinds of “seasonal” things that we often only talk about, like:

• Arranging to meet with friends we haven’t seen in a while
• Baking cookies for those friends and families that will be coming over
• Sitting inside, TOGETHER, with family over hot drinks and good CONVERSATION, and
• Thinking over the past year and making plans for business and personal goals for the new year
