Our first snow of the season came last evening. It was skimpy and wet. It hardly seems like the season it's trying to represent. Food banks and toy drives report donations are down and blame the weather. Apparently we simply don't think Christmas is coming yet if there's no snow.
I offer memory of the 2006 season in Mexico. If we can build a longing for southern suns, then it must be time for Christmas... and all the appropriate donations.
