It seemed winter
would never come. November became December,
and still snow evaded. If only snow had
floated leisurely from the sky, if only the temperatures had plummeted, then
perhaps I could have been a little more inclined to get into the spirit of
Christmas. A white Christmas wasn’t to
be and soon the New Year dawned.
Once
the holidays were a memory, the snow arrived, the wind chill factor became a
daily concern, and barely into the new semester, snow days were inevitable and
midwinter break was officially lost. And
so winter begins; now, I am longing for spring.

Did you see that thing I shared a few weeks ago? It was a cartoon that said, 'winter in Dec: a magical fairyland of lights' (or something like that) and then 'winter Jan-March: A big bucket of suck'. hahaha Although compared to last year, this year is way better.
ReplyDeleteJoJo, Yes! I did see that and there is so much truth in it! Thanks for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteIsn't that always the way Kathy? We long for the snow, we're happy when it arrives...and two weeks later "GOD I'm ready for SPRING!!!" Lol
ReplyDeleteJoe, it sure is!! I don't really mind the snow but it would have been nice if it had shown up for Christmas. Thanks for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteBoy, could I relate, Kathy! I enjoy wintery weather for Christmas but like you we didn't get snow and had a green Christmas. Now we have snow and I'm dreaming of spring or going South. Never-ending!
ReplyDeleteCathy, it is really. I don't really mind the snow BUT will be more than happy to see spring come again. Unfortunately that will be a while since it is only January. Thanks for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteYep, that's about it!
ReplyDeleteLaurel, so pleased you liked it! Thanks so much for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteYeah, rainy christmas and now all we have is snow and cold. Ugg, bring on spring.
ReplyDeletePat, Amen! Thanks for stopping by. Always a pleasure to read your comments! ♥
DeleteMade me reflect upon how our expectations of a season will either enhance it or detract from it. We all want those white Christmas memories, but sometimes, God has other plans.
ReplyDeleteLove and blessings, Kathy!
Martha, it is really hard to approach a holiday season with zero expectations. I had next to no expectations for this last Christmas and it turned out pretty good anyways. Thanks for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteSending you some warm greetings from tropical southeastern India! Stay warm, Spring is not too far behind :)
ReplyDeleteBeloo, I will do my best! Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
Deleteand the cycle continues ... sending warmth of Sydney, the sun becomes unbearable sometimes.
ReplyDeleteRajlakshmi, thank you for the warmth!! I can almost feel it. Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteIt's funny how we long for a season and then that season seems to overstay it's welcome! I hope you can find some joy in the snow, until spring decides to give you a break :)
ReplyDeletejannatwrites, oh I have. It is OK. Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteOther than frigid temperatures, we haven't had much of a winter yet. Today is downright springlike. Not to rub it in:)
ReplyDeleteTalya, how lovely! I look forward to days like that! Thanks for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteCan relate to this! Cant wait for the spring here too!
ReplyDeleteShilpa, thanks for stopping by and for your comments! ♥
DeleteI'm like that with cake - --- cake at Christmas feels right - but in January?? no no no
ReplyDeleteGlen, honey I can love cake year round no matter what the weather!! LOL Come on Glen...CAKE!!! You only live once! ♥
DeleteFeel free to send your snow down south. I would love a good snow day AND closed schools.

Joyce, if I had any control over that, I would. Thanks for stopping by and for your comments! ♥
DeleteI don't mind December as much as I hate January weather-wise! :D
ReplyDeleteby March I'm impatient for spring and skirts!! LOL!
Pixie, I am much more a shorts kind of girl and if I am not going anywhere...I wear shorts even in sub zero temps in the winter. That's just the way I roll. Thanks for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
