Snow

Though I may not be a big fan of snow (especially when I am required to walk further than to my mailbox and back) I have to acknowledge the hushed reverence that covers campus when it is snowing.

As I was walking to the bookstore to, of course, buy some books, I looked around me and was surprised by what I saw as what I was hearing would have suggested something the complete opposite. There were people all around me! And yet, the everyday sounds of college life seemed muted. It was as if the snow blanketed everything and muffled the sounds.

The only time this seems to occur is while the snow is in the process of precipiting. (Yes, I am fully aware that isn't a real word.) After the snow has stopped, the world's sound is turned on again, and the laughing and groaning of college students is heard at full level.

What is it about snow which causes such respect and reverance?

Love you all.

Happy Christmas, Harry!

Merry Christmas!

I had a white Christmas this year... maybe a little more white than I wanted, but while the win is blowing and the snow is piling up, I get to stay inside and enjoy the holiday.

Here are so Christmas traditions that we have:

Christmas Eve is when we tend to do the "reason for the season" things. We remember Christ's birth, sing songs, read stories and have a wonderful dinner with New England Clam Chowder. Yum! But at the end of the night we get our Christmas jammies! Got to love new jammies!

Christmas, I think, is just like most peoples. We have our stockings, presents under the tree, a great breakfast. My family is here and we watch movies, read books, and just play and enjoy each others company all day. It's great!

What a great season! Lights, and songs, and snow. Now, if only all the snow will go away before I need to go back to school...

Love you all!
