Our first snowfall came down today!

Well, we finally had our first snow fall today. It didn't stay on the ground, but it sure made driving tough. I must admit, it sure was pretty though watching those silver dollar sized snowflakes float out of the sky. When we lived in California we never had the sense of Christmas, because the weather was mostly warm all the time. Even seeing the Christmas lights on the boulevard, didn't do it for me. There has to be "snow" at Christmas time, just like you see on almost every Christmas card you buy. Christmas must be cold and snowy. Can you imagine Santa and his reindeer without snow, or "frosty the snowman" without snow? It takes more than just reindeer and a guy with a white beard for it to be Christmas to me,you know! Anyway, we're starting to see lights going up all around town here in Michigan, so that must mean that Christmas is right around the corner! Let me be one of the first to wish you all a very "MERRY CHRISTMAS" May I also add one more thing....don't forget all those "brave" men and woman that protect us against the evil people in the world this Christmas. Say a small prayer when you sit down to eat your Christmas dinner, for without them, we would have no more Christmases!
