I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
It is supposed to get up to about 75 degrees over the weekend or early next week. The high numbers put a bit of a crimp in my Christmas joy. It is very difficult for me to get in the spirit of the season with the temperature so high. A white Christmas is in my dreams, so bring on the snow in Ohio...next Saturday that is, after we have arrived. A giant snow storm on the 23rd would be stupendous!
I have made adjustments by choosing a very pristine and very white scene as my screensaver on my work PC. It makes me feel all chilly inside when I look at it. And I also can not help but picture the snow covered trees that lined our driveway in Germany. The decorations are also up around the abode, so if I just don't step foot outside all weekend, maybe I can pretend that it is all snowy and blustery outside. I would even start a fire if only we had ever gotten a gas tank so that the fireplace would actually work.
I just wonder how many other friends are out there feeling the heat of the season. I know many who left the very beautiful German countryside to live in places like Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, & California. Quite a change! I really hate to shovel snow and I abhor the mucky slush that is left at the side of the road yet I still can't help but dream of a white Christmas!

Oh I wish you guys were coming here! Snow covered mountains are my favorite wintery scene. We've had 3 good storms down here since October. However, we just heard on the news this morning that it will be a warm 50 degrees today. I'm sure the last of our snow will be gone by the afternoon. Bummer!
You know our door is always open if you don't get your snow fix in Ohio.
Miss you guys!

I know what you mean! I thought moving to NY would bring cold and snow....not one flake yet! It doesn't feel Christmasy at all. So lets just hope it stays cold in MN so I can get a "snowy" christmas afterall :).
Happy Holidays!
I'm torn on this. Yes, I loved the snow in Germany. I will definitely miss the magic of it all this Christmas. There was something about the area where we lived, too. I just LOVED driving down the road to my house and seeing all the snow in the trees. It truly was like a Winter Wonderland. I'm torn, though because with my new hobby, I'm definitely enjoying the milder weather here this winter. We're taking advantage of it every opportunity we get! :-)
I felt your pain in GA but I'm back in the north country now and it hasn't disappointed...8 degrees this morning! No snow but plenty of chill! Have fun in Ohio ;)
