Snow and cold, that's what winter is all about. The flip-side of that coin, of course, is the hot chocolate, cozy blankets, and brilliant fires that keep us warm inside. Yesterday we shovelled, today we played in the snow (for over an hour), and tonight we sit in front of a warming fire made ever more charming by the scent of pine and the glow of Christmas lights that garnish the room. Five days are left until Christmas; all of our shopping is done; all of our wrapping is done; we've read the T'was the Night Before Christmas to Calvin more times than we can count; tonight (and perhaps all the others, too) we are sitting back and enjoying the warmth of the season. We hope you are doing the same!
