it's the most wonderful time of the year

Big, fluffy, wet snowflakes are falling down right now. This is the type of snow that snow days are made of: perfect for snowball fights with your dog, making snowmen with your cousins in the front yard, sledding down water tower hill on anything you can find (cookie sheets & pizza boxes are common). This is the type of snow that calls for cozy pajamas and a big mug of hot cocoa after you come inside from playing. It sticks to eyelashes and melts in your hair. It brings you back to childhood with the smell of wet gloves and the pile of wet boots by the door. It's my favourite kind of snow.

It really feels like December now.
