Never thought it would happen this way, but it’s snowing on Christmas day! Yesterday, here in Crestline, the high temperature was 60–beautiful blue skies–perfect weather…that is for Easter. Awful Christmas weather. But, although I certainly did not expect it, change was on its way.
The house was quiet as Christmas dawned. I was the only one astir as I peered through my kitchen window and saw the thermometer to read 29 degrees. Yes! And just a few minutes ago, here an hour before noon, it began snowing! Snowing? Yes, snowing.
Well, sort of. Look across the lake through my dining room window and I’m afraid you’ll see clear blue skies and not a hint of cloud. Yes, the temperature has dropped drastically, and strong winds have blown in. It’s blustery and chilly, but…the…snow…I must confess it to be only observable on the computer pages of WordPress. Wonderful Matt with the Christmas Spirit exuding from his youthful geeky mind noted my needs, somehow caused snow to drift in and even sent a message on my screen, so I would be sure to notice.
Thank you, Matt. Thank you WordPress. Thank you Jesus for Christmas. Thank you my friends and family who read my words today. Might consider pulling on a jacket, and pouring a dark, sweet cup of hot chocolate for the remainder of time on my site. It’s chilly around here. It’s snowing!

I really like the snow on the website. Speaking of snow, Jeremy wishes it snowed so bad here (it does on rare occasions). Surprisingly the SUnday before we left for CA we got some flurries. It was too warm to stick, but it was so pretty. We knew in Sac it wouldn’t snow (not even a good downpour of rain… sigh). But those of you in San Diego, I wouldn’t miss the snow at all either. Its beautiful there all year long. SIs.Buxton, I’m glad you had a wonderful Christmas. Ours was so nice… especially getting to spend it with friends and family from home.

Blog snow is my kind of snow. You don’t have to shovel it or drive in it, but you can just enjoy watching it slowly fall. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas.
Love you.

How wonderful!! It was in the upper 60s in Houston, where we spent our Christmas!! I figure, if it isn’t going to snow, it might as well be warm. I suppose I got my wish. 🙂 Now that we are back home in Dallas, it is in the 40s and I am cold again. And guess what? It’s cold with no snow.
Oh well, I won’t complain because I am blessed beyond measure.

Christmas morning we woke to the sounds of waves as we looked out our window at a breath-taking view of the ocean. 🙂 Seventy degrees was the temp when we went to my sister’s for dinner and gifts, around noon. Awwww…sigh…couldn’t get better than this. I love San Diego!
