Christmas Miracle
~
a rare winter snow
sparks childhood glee and magic
shared heart to heart
~
~
We haven’t had any snow in about 5 years, except for a couple of dustings that lasted mere hours. Even this miracle event was only about 2″ of snow, but it brought so much joy to those of us who love the beauty of snow. Snow is rare in Arkansas, and definitely to happen before Christmas is amazing. So I’m claiming this as a Christmas miracle and a win for our Holiday Hygge!
~
May you be blessed with a Christmas Miracle!

There is no snow where I live and cold weather hasn’t agreed with me in a lot of years so I haven’t gotten to drive to the beauty of the snow. I remember being mesmerized with the purity and beauty when in the past we did manage to make a day trip at least in the winter to get to experience it. Now I enjoy pictures and your post made me joyful too.

Actually I don’t mind driving on fresh snow. It’s having appointments or time pressure that is no fun, especially with the wet, sloppy and icy combos we often have. And sledding is always more fun! 🛷

So nice to see the pictures! I’m not really into snow every year. I’ve gotten lucky many times in the past living in PA and having a lot of snow to remember. They just got a lot! Here if I drive about 45 min away, we get snow with the right time and conditions. We have had a nice snow on Thanksgiving a couple of years ago when we stayed at a lodge for 2 days. When my daughter gets older, I look forward to this. Thank you for sharing your Christmas miracle. There’s plenty of time for more miracles 😃

Oh please let me clarify: I love snow because it’s so pretty and quiet and delicate and sometimes heavy like a blanket. It’s delightful and when you play in it your cheeks get red! I’m just not too keen on the cold part or living in a snowy place right now. ❄️☺️ so what kind of fan does that make me? lol.

Snow on/for Christmas was always a joy to have during my years in London. But since I left, I said goodbye to the cold weather. On a trip to Eugene OR and Streamwood IL some years back reminded me of what snow for Christmas used to be like 😊

The way that a fresh snowfall accents the lines of tree branches is truly magical. Your photos capture the beauty and joy of this meteorological event perfectly. We had rain for Christmas (which melted most of our previous snow and allowed me to continue to ride my bike.) I trust, living in New England, that we will be blessed with several more snow storms before spring (I hope) returns…
