I’m Dreaming of a White… Post-Boxing Day?
As I sit here in my office, snow is falling outside my window.
Yeah, snow… but for the first time since I’ve been in Oregon.
Oh, there’s snow in other towns around here… apparently the ones that are at a higher altitude, even if they’re further south. But here in Grants Pass, nestled safely in a valley surrounded by fairly low mountains, there has been nothing.
Back in Toronto, apparently they had several feet of snow weeks ago.
And it’s kind of nice to be in a warmer climate. I’ve never been a lover of the cold (just ask anyone who has seen my fingers turn white and ice cold, just when the indoor temperature drops a few degrees).
I’m just used to a white Christmas. I think I’ve maybe had one green Christmas my whole life… until now.
And all the Christmas movies we see, all the decorations and holiday-inspired scenery, feature snow as a continuous theme.
Then again, all around the world, people have Christmas without snow.
