Snow!
It's been threatening it for weeks now (we normally get a good snowfall in November, but just had the bitter temperatures, ice and roaring wind this time round. Lucky us!), but we had our first flurry yesterday. It didn't lie (but handily turned the roads to ice which, as I live at the top of a hill, made venturing outside... interesting), but I woke up this morning to find deep snow outside. Huzzah! Now it's festive :)
Went to a Christmas concert last night. The older I get, the more irrationally emotional I find myself getting. Especially at Christmas time. Stick me in a large building, lit by candle light and wheel on some small children singing Christmas carols in little wobbly falsetto voices and I'll be blubbing into my mulled wine before you can say "Humbug". I managed to be stoic last night, relying on only a quick eye dab at the end of 'Oh, come all ye Faithful'. Today however, I'm off to see the Nutcracker. Then home to wrap presents, write cards and eat mince pies. I'll probably be in inconsolable hysterics by about 4pm.
Sigh, I love the holidays! :)
