Each December the holiday spirit returns. I am finding mine later than normal but it came. Tonight, I decorated my tree and hung a few decorations around the house. It turned out to be quite a chore, worth every minute.
To add the the festivity, it happened to be snowing heavy here in upstate NY. So everything was covered with the white stuff. It transforms a landscape into a wonderland. The first month of snow everyone loves it, the second month we tolerate, by the third month people start getting testy and if it snows beyond that....LOOK OUT!
It was my daughter's birthday. I called her to say Happy Birthday!! She told me that is was a miserable day outside. I could not believe my ears, "How can you say that?" I asked. "Why it is a beautiful winter day! Just like when you were born. I know because I was there."
She did not appreciate my sense of humor. I wish she was two or three years old again, she believed everything I said back then.
