The First Snowfall

We have a soft snow falling here today. It's covered the cars and is beginning to cover the grass. It makes a good back drop for listening to Christmas music while the Christmas lights are lit on the wreaths and the tree. The temperature is very cold, 21 degrees is what the weather forecaster said it was today. The first snowfall of the year is always the prettiest. What's great about today is that it's not a work day for me, so I don't have to drive. I have a church around the corner which I can walk to for mass. It would be a perfect day for baking Christmas cookies. A December snowfall helps set the holiday mood. As long as there is no where you need to be, it's very welcome.
