Advent Drabble 9 - Snow
“This is why life in southern California is preferable,” sniffed Matt disdainfully.
“Southern California has earthquakes,” said Miranda.

“Whereas here we have snow at Christmas time,” said Patrick. “A hush over the streets, lights twinkling through snowflakes, hat hair and red noses and fingers warmed by the fire.”
“See, you’re trying to make it sound romantic to distract me from all of the shoveling.”
“Also,” said Patrick, “we’re rich: I pay someone to do that.”
“Snow just got better,” said Matt.
