Snow Snow Snow

Oh I love the snow--It transforms boring suburbia of Puyallup into a "Winter Wonderland"-- persay...
Not to mention the three days of no school, I realized how much this snow makes me miss my childhood. Growing up I always thought everyone experienced life like me--raised going to church, two parents, fun neighbors, and a comfortable life.
Snow days were the best growing up, like, we'd have a huge hill and all the neighbors would swap sleds and shove eachother at incredible speeds down the massive slope until they'd fly into the air off the jumps that increased in size with each year that passed by.
Mmm. Christmas time is the best, but I realized the best part of Christmas occurs before the 25th. You see, it all starts the day after Thanksgiving. Waking up early and Christmas shopping--it's like a jumpstart into the holiday season, getting all of us hyped up. Then there's chopping down the tree, decorating the house, making cookies, ridiculous repetitive tunes that you feel obligated to listen to, just simply because after Christmas its like an unwritten rule or something.
Wrapping presents, staying up late, waking up early--especially on those frosty mornings where in Washington we're usually given false hopes of a Snow Day. I guess this year we really lucked out with our three day extension to Winter Break. Ahhh, it's a bittersweet blog, for in only a few days we'll be whisking away the tree, tearing down the deer, the snow will melt, school will preside, and our lives will go on--Sad. Sorry to squish the holiday mood :)
Merry Christmas
