Let it Snow

In many places this white Christmas idea is actually true. People wake up on Christmas morning and see a beautiful blanket of fresh white snow in their yard. Seeing snow fall for the first time tells people that the holidays are near, and that “It’s Beginning to look a lot like Christmas”. Some people claim to hate snow; they say it’s cold, wet and miserable. To me, snow is so much fun. The holidays are the “Most Wonderful Time of the Year”, and it’s so much fun to walk around at night when it’s snowing and all the Christmas lights are up. The colors of the lights reflect in the snow. While it’s snowing, everything is so quiet like a “Silent Night”.

                There are those other places, where either the climate is too hot or it happens that the seasons are backwards, making it so there is no snow on Christmas, places such as “Christmas Island”. I have lived in these places. Sometimes it is nice to be able to go to the beach on Christmas, and not have to worry about bundling up before walking outside.  Though summer time is nice, it’s hard to get into the Christmas spirit when it’s nearly 100 degrees outside. It may be different for the people who have always grown up with summer Christmases, but for me, I like the cold.

                “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas”. There are books and songs and movies that portray the idea that when there is Christmas, there is snow. Huddled up in front of the fire in a big sweater while there’s apple cider and eggnog passed around, these are the times when it seems snow is essential to the Christmas atmosphere. I hope that “I’ll be Home for Christmas” so that I can see the sugar coated houses and the frosted trees. Until then “let it snow”.
