Christmas Snow
The last time it snowed on Christmas was the year I was being treated for breast cancer. It was a significant snowfall that year. I cooked dinner for the family and was pleased to not have to drive to be with the family for our celebration that year. My sister drove over early in the day. Later that day, her husband walked the 2 miles from their house to mine. The snow had gotten considerably deeper by then. He had ventured up to north Jersey to visit his siblings that morning and decided that after getting home safely, walking was a better option. A White Christmas is nice if no one has to drive. If it snows and doesn't stick to the roads, but only whitens the grass, A White Christmas is for me. Otherwise, I'd like the snow to fall during our sleeping hours and I'd like the roads to be cleared of snow for all the drivers out there. We don't drive sleighs anymore. Although I've always wanted to have a ride in a horse drawn sleigh. I don't think that's going to happen in this lifetime. I do have jingle bells on my door knob. So I'll have the sound of a sleigh ride each time someone comes in the door. The sleigh and the horses will never appear. Wouldn't that be a sight if they did?
