IT'S SNOWING!

Today, December 10, 2008 is goin' down as one of my favorites. I have an unrealistic, but total infatuation for snow. Maybe because I grew up in Texas.... Today, as I watched beautiful, ginormous, fluffy snowflakes floating down a sky that smelled like fresh carbonated water, my inner snow bunny wanted to hippy hop around our yard and let out a high pitched squeal of absolute thrill! I just love snow - it is a special gift that for us Southerners, is extraordinary!

I will probably regret this later, and take this first video off line. However at the moment, I'm feeling no pain, nor shame. Enjoy the flakes ... pun intended.

Here are some fun pics, too!

"Scooby, this is snow. Snow, meet Scooby."

"The world changes when it snows. Everything softens. It gets quiet."
"When it snows, something inside me says, 'Hey, that's your present.' I don't think it will ever change." Lorelai Gilmore, one of the Gilmore Girls

The Halls are Decked ...

... with all kinds of merry-ness! I had such a great time decorating the house for Christmas. I got crafty this year with some garland, wire cutters, wooden letters, and last but not least ... some Mod Podge! This was my first MP experience; and, I must say, it was quite fun. I do wonder about its name - anyone know where it came from?






May all our hearts be totally decked out with the joy of this season!


Hark, the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King;
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!"
Joyful, all ye nations rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With the angelic host proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem!
Hark, the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King."


Merry Christmas!
