White Christmas

I live in the south and we do get snow here each winter, but never more than a dusting at a time and never on Christmas. I have always wanted to be somewhere where it snows at Christmas, and this year I got my wish.

We didn't travel anywhere, the snow came to us! This is the view of my back yard this morning. It started snowing yesterday morning, and by the evening as I was sitting down to Christmas dinner with my family there was a pretty white blanket on the ground. It wasn't enough to close stores today or effect traffic - this was more of a decorative snow but since there has not been a white Christmas in my city for 128 years, so this was very, very special.
