Not So White Christmas

"Unless we make Christmas an occasion to share our blessings, all the snow in Alaska won't make it 'white'." ~ Bing Crosby

This photo is of Christmas 2008 when the snow was piled high at home. This year I do not have a comparison shot but there is literally just a dusting. As I strolled the neighbourhood after returning from the family gathering tonight, I was dressed in my fall coat, my thin gloves, and a head warmer. I was walking off the mashed potatoes and gravy and taking in the sights of the season (the twinkling lights) and smells (lots of people had fires going in their homes.

I am grateful for the family times when they are not dysfunctional. Today was a great day. Now I am ready for an early bedtime. I may just surprise my uncle and aunt out west and give them a call first.

Have a blessed Christmas season, folks. The twelve days start now.

Peace,

Suzanne
