Let It Snow......
Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I've bought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bying,
But as long as you love me so,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Well, I don't think my friends here in southern West Virginia will appreciate the Let It Snow song. We have been slammed recently with snow, so much that our kids only had one school day this week as the other four days have been canceled due to snow conditions.
I cannot believe that it is only one week until Christmas Eve and 1-week and 1-day until CHRISTMAS!!!!
We are really looking forward to Christmas this year. As most of you have read, my mom was diagnosed with multiple myeloma this past Summer. It has been hard on all of us. It is an incurable cancer. My mom has been my best friend for so long that I cannot imagine living life without her. So this Christmas, we will be spending Christmas Eve with her and my dad. Okay - we only live like 15 minutes away, but it will be a good time.
We open our gifts on Christmas Eve night and let Santa come during the night so the kids will have gifts from Santa on Christmas morning. We are planning on doing all of this and then having our Christmas Dinner at my mom and dad's house with family. So I am really looking forward to it!!! I just keep praying that everyone is well for those few days as Thanksgiving everyone was sick - especially my mom and dad.
So - here is a question - do you open your gifts on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day? My best friend thinks that we are crazy for opening them on Christmas Eve - but I have done this ever since I can remember... =)
