As I kid I always dreamed of having a White Christmas, but was told because of where we live, it would more than likely never happen. Despite never experiencing a White Christmas in North Texas, it now has now happened twice in about three years.
In my son’s first year of life, he’s batting a thousand for experiencing a White Christmas.
I said this about three Christmases ago and will say it again, it’s so surreal to have a White Christmas and I’m sure the folks that live up north just don’t get our awe about such an occurrence.
Despite still feeling like crap (health wise), I can’t pass up a few minutes in the snow on a White Christmas.
I’m thankful I don’t have to travel on Christmas day.
If there’s one thing I learned about snow in North Texas, mothers will sacrifice the well being of their children for good pictures of them in the snow.
We attended one of the Christmas Eve candlelit services at our church and in each chair was a small advert promoting an upcoming Heaven/Hell series. I understand the need to reach out to visitors and all, but I thought the timing was ill timed.
The local news didn’t go as ape as they usually do when we get snowy and icy weather, the only coverage was during regular air time. I guess they wanted to spend Christmas with their families as well, and I guess that proves they over-react when it’s any other day but Christmas.
I thought weatherman Pete Delkus was beating his chest a bit with this tweet: I told all you naysayers. Snowmageddon, Snowpocalypse, White Death!!!! It’s here!
It probably doesn’t make any sense, but it feels weird watching Christmas movies on Christmas day, I just feel those movies are meant for preparing for the arrival of Christmas.
The Christmas tree always use to stay up at least past New Year’s Day, I’m not a believer of that anymore.
SMU finished it’s football season with a 7-6 record. They only had a winning season because the last win was a bowl game. Yup, there are too many bowl games.
Netflix had an outage on Christmas Eve, which affected my “Breaking Bad” watching. I’m almost finished with season four and have the first half of season five ready to go. That Skylar sure does gain a noticable amount of weight throughout the seasons.
I live in Vancouver, BC, way north of you. We rarely have a white Christmas either! This year was grey and rainy, so was last year and the year before that and on and on!
Glad you had a bit of snow!
Cute photo! Thanks for keeping the blog going even when you are not feeling well. Hope you are back in the saddle soon.
