It's snowing! Snowing, snowing, snowing, snowing, snowing!
So easy to get into the Christmas spirit once it snows. I have been online shopping, wrapping stuff I already have, and getting myself organized -- all because it's snowing. I might even tackle some of the cards tonight.
There's something about the first snow that is invigorating. Also, it's a quiet, gentle snow, the kind of storm that isn't a storm; it's more like a sprinkling. Sure, sure; I'll have to shovel it tomorrow. It shouldn't be too bad. I think they're predicting about six inches of snow, and that's totally manageable.
Ask me again in March or April, though. I doubt I'll be as chipper and excited about wonderful, marvelous snow then. I'll probably be calling it "that white shit" by next spring.
In the meantime: It's snowing! Snowing, snowing, snowing, snowing, snowing! And I am totally psyched about the whole thing.
