White Christmas

Yesterday was Christmas day, as you already know, and let me tell, it was a GOOD one.

For a few days, forecasters had been saying we would get some snow, maybe 1-3 inches. I didn't think anything of it because I live in a small, Southeastern Tennessee town that rarely gets snow. I worked all day Christmas eve, then went to my Mamaw's house and had finger foods and opened presents there, then came home. I went to bed, and slept soundly, until I woke up and realized that it was Christmas day...

I went to the door, and lo and behold, SNOW!!! It was just a dusting, but it kept falling. After everyone was awake, but still sleepy-eyed, we passed out presents and opened them, and folks, I got THE BEST GIFT OF THE YEAR. My mom got me a ten piece set of Paula Dean cookware. I was thrilled.

Anyways, back to the snow. It kept falling, and falling, and before long, we had two inches! This was my FIRST ever White Christmas. Over all we ended up with about 7 inches, and today, it is still coming down hard!

I know that it isn't about snow or presents, but I think that God gave all of us southern folk a nice treat, especially those who have never had a White Christmas.

WAAAAAAACHAAAAAAACHAAAAAAA

Yes, well, Easter break is coming to an end. Sad, I know. I am sitting here, writing this, and I really have nothing to say, oh yeah, I can tell a funny story...

This Conversation takes place on Friday evening between Lea (my 9 year old niece) and myself:

Me: "Shaddy (freind of mine) just said that beards are hot..."

Lea: "Ewww, no."

Me: "I know right? Could you imagine kissing something like that?"

Lea: "It would be too scratchy and itchy, I think I would prefer a smooth face."

Me: "Me too. To think about a nasty beard is gross. Beards are soo nasty and things get stuck in them."

Lea: "I know, who wants that? Eww."

Now keep in mind that Lea is nine. We later concluded that a guy with a nice smooth face would be best. None of that scratchy stuff. Yeah, so we had a good time laughing about it. I think that it will be one of those little conversations that she will remember for a while.
