10 Days of Christmas #5: Snow

 

   Hello everybody, and welcome to the Ten Days of Christmas blog party! I'm very excited to be participating in this. This blog event will be posted every two days. Specifically, December 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 14th, 16th, 18th, 20th, and 22nd. On each day but the last one, the theme will be associated with a certain letter of "Christmas."

   Just . . . quiet. Peaceful. Serene. Beautiful.

  

   But only for as long as we are inside.

  

   Once we hit the snowdrifts . . . 

   bye, bye, all you perfect, unmarked sheets of snow.
