IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE . . .

There’s something magical about the first snowfall of the year. 

The falling snowflakes bring with them a sense of romance as they begin to cover the ground, and I dream that I am living in a Courier and Ives print.  I long for crackling fireplaces, warm blankets, and mugs rich hot chocolate.

The reality, however, is that while I don’t live in that nostalgic world of Courier and Ives, I can still bask in the romance of this first snow, and its foreshadowing of the holidays to come.
