Let it snow!

Being a warm-weather lover from california, I usually cringe at snow past Christmas. I'm a fan of winter sports and Bryan is a big time skiier so I should rejoice at snow storms throughtout the winter; but instead I crave the sun. However, snow before Christmas is a different story. I love everything that adds to the Christmas spirit: Christmas music, Christmas books, Christmas decorations, hot chocolate by the fire, everyone's desire to serve and help those around them (I am so touched by the many things are neighbors and friends are doing this year), and especially the opportunity to celebrate the birth of our savior. Needless to say, when I looked out the window today, I was excited to see snow.
