The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Come January I'm sure I'll be shaking my fist at the weather, but there's something about snow during the holidays that makes me feel giddy. Maybe it reminds me of my childhood, when my brother and I would run outside on Christmas morning to see reindeer footprints on our front lawn. (Thanks Mom and Dad!)

Or perhaps it boils down to all those Christmas movies where something good happened when it began to snow. Case in point, Bridget Jones and Mark Darcy's passionate kiss on the street....and when
Kate Beckinsale's and John Cusack's characters find each other in Serendipity.

Whatever the reason, when the first snowfall comes it feels like Christmas right away. It seems to get everyone in the holiday spirit - something I've been feeling for the past month so I was happy to look outside yesterday and see the snow falling to the ground. Warning: expect me to full of even more holiday cheer now.
