We didn't have a white Christmas, but we almost did! Snowing the day after the renowned holiday is close enough for us southern, born and bred, Georgians. I was all full of anticipation Christmas night when I looked at the 30% chance of snow on the Weather channel for the next day. If you are south of the south you get excited when there is the tiniest chance of snow. When we moved up to Savannah 5 years ago we were thrilled with the thought of snow every year. Our hopes failed us. Savannah apparently doesn't have much of a temperature change from SOUTH Georgia. I was assured by my neighbor that "Oh! yeah! It snows every year." Her assurance made us assured...until we found out for ourselves that that was only a dream for Savannah.
However, we were blessed with snow on Mama's birthday this past February. We have a new ornament on our tree with "Snow" all over it because it is 'the year of the snow', for us. Little did we know that the day after Christmas it would snow from 8:00 a.m.-7 p.m.! 11 hours! It was a phenomenon! Unfortunately it didn't stick this time, but it started to about 7:00 p.m.
Each snowflake was gorgeous! They each had their own design. Everyone of them looked like a mini, glass version of paper cutouts. God's detail was minutely perfect!
We might not have gotten a white Christmas, but it was as close as we could wish for! We are hoping that since it is only December, that we may get some this winter, early in the new year!
Happy New Year!

Oh Molly! It looks so beautiful! Wouldn't you know that we would leave, and it would snow 2 years in a row without us :( We are sad to miss it, but glad you were able to enjoy it! Love you! ♥ Elise
ReplyDeleteElise, I wish you could have been here, too! We had 2 snows and you weren't able to be here for either! I love you, too! Wishing you back... Lots of love,
