Just a little white blanket to dress things up!
Depending on your view of a snow day, that probably tells me about your age, unless, you are an excitable kid at heart. Many adults find it hard to remember the extreme joy of a snow day. Adults get bogged down in the difficulty of driving in it, the danger of slipping on the snow and ice, the cost of heating their homes, and the inconvience of having heavy snow and ice removed from the sidewalk and the driveway. It’s not that those aren’t legitimate concerns…but, there is another side to a snow day; do you remember?
Kids, on the other hand, look at the rare snow day as a gift from God! LOL A sn0w day is like a reprieve from death row (school) to a kid. It is a day filled with endless possiblities, such as: sledding, ice skating, snow boarding, making snow angels, building a snowman, skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, ice fishing, throwing snowballs…in other words…having a blast in the white stuff.
Thinking about the pristine, sparkly white snow; glittering on the surface of the trees and homes…what beautiful photos that would make. Send a photo to your friends, in other warmer states, who don’t get to enjoy the fluffy, white blanket that covers everything as far as the eyes can see.
So, depending on where you live; what will you do with your next “snow day”. Today, hmmmmm…it is full of possibilities to the kid in all of us. Maybe even for some of us older kids…it might just include snuggling up with a comforting cup of frothy, hot chocolate; and, reliving some of yesterday’s memories of OUR favorite snow day!
