It’s snowing like crazy outside and it’s reported we are in blizzard like conditions. That’s the first time I have driven in blizzard like conditions. I might just have a white Christmas, at least I’ll have a white Christmas eve. It’s a bit surreal to tell you the truth, to see Christmas decorations outside covered in snow in real life.
This morning I wake up and went to the store to pick up some artificial poinsettias for my parents grave. Lucky for me, only two were left, and they were half off. When I told the checkout lady what I was going to do with them, she asked me if I would like her to cut the tags off. I thought that was very nice.
The line at the gas station to buy lottery tickets for a last minute gift was quite long.
As SisterGeeding and I drove to the DFW National Cemetery, we passed Texas Stadium. I was surprised to see all the road construction around the place, and seeing that the parking lot was used for nothing more than construction equipment and mounds of dirt and rock.
As we approached the cemetery on this cold, wet, snowy morning we were stopped at the entrance as a funeral procession of about 70-100 cars passed us. I knew it was for a fallen soldier as the Liberty Bell/Ten Commandments truck rolled by. It must be quite interesting attending a funeral on Christmas Eve.
It was great having some brother/sister bonding time.
It’s fun seeing the dogs play in the snow, the seem just so confused about this stuff falling from the sky.
And to think it was about eighty degrees yesterday.
We plan on going to the Christmas Eve service at church.

I don't know if someone from the north can fully understand this very true statement.
Sounds like a beautiful day……….the eve of our Saviour's birth!
