There's nothing better than seeing the happiness on my kids' faces during or after the first big snow. I would LOVE a 2-hour delay. But it's about 70 degrees this morning. Ho Ho Ho.
Well, Ho Ho Ho to you, too! The trees near the creek by our house release these white puffs that float through the air, and we call them fairies. They're the closest thing to snow we get. Ah, well... Merry Christmas, Mike!
The sentiment expressed is beautiful. Wishing all the best for you and yours during this wonderful season. of course, I'd love to win the prize so here goes - Ho Ho Ho!
Thanks everyone who has expressed interest in a free ebook. I hope you don't mind the errors in the piece. I was tired and was in no mood to edit when I created it in photoshop.
Ho, ho, ho. Love the snowflake fairies. I think it's going to take a magic spell to get some snow around here this year. It's seventy degrees in Colorado!!
What a sweet and lovely prose poem! And yes, when I was little Christmas really did seem magical, and the quietude that snow gives a landscape seems sacred.
Hi Michael. This is awesome prose. Well, Christmas doesn't start with snow in Oz, more like extreme heat, but the sentiments are lovely, ho ho ho...:D
ReplyDeleteHo ho ho - now send me some darn snow!
ReplyDeleteWe never get a white Christmas. Or winter for that matter.
Ho, ho, ho! And snow here in the tropics? Now only in my memories.
ReplyDeleteI love snow. Great post, Mike. I won once before, so I won't enter this time. :)

ReplyDeleteA beautiful sentiment but no snow here in Florida. No shoveling either. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis needs more grumpy bulldogs living in caves.
ReplyDeleteWell, Ho Ho Ho to you, too!

We get snow and sometimes lots of it. In fact, today looks like snow - very grey and cold.

ReplyDeleteIt feels cold enough for snow here in Portland but so far just rain. Take care and enjoy the snow.
ReplyDeleteSweet. Ho Ho HO, Mr. Santa. (=

ReplyDeleteAnd I love the line "Snowflakes are like flitting pixies."
Snow is okay as long as it isn't on the roads when I have to drive. :)
