Let It Snow . . .

. . . just not anymore right now. Here in the Nashville/Franklin area we got about 2 inches of snow yesterday which was, of course, enough for schools to be cancelled. I usually don't mind snow days . . . our kids love the snow, and it's kind of fun to sit around in our pajamas until the urge to go play outside kicks in. However, this is the week before Christmas break. This is go-time. The show. Mama has got to finish up her shopping. 

So, please Mother Nature or Father Winter or whoever is listening, please hold off on anymore frozen precipitation until at least December 18 (after which my kids are out anyway). Thank you. 

Sincerely,

Scrooge

Snow Day . . . Really?!

Well, it's officially happened. The first snow of the season has arrived in my little corner of the Southeastern U.S., and everyone has gone (not surprisingly) a little crazy. My daughter's school was canceled last night . . . well before the first flake fluttered to the ground! I just find it laughable. People up north are digging out of frigid blizzards with inches if not feet and we're afraid to leave the house in mere centimeters.

While I don't think anyone is loving this prolonged arctic weather, it is peaceful to watch the snow quietly come down outside. Now I just need a cozy blanket, a good book, a roaring fire . . . and maybe a brandy alexander. That's my idea of the perfect snow day. What's yours?
