Journal 26: I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas


Snow
It won't be long before we'll all be there with snow
Snow
I want to wash my hands, my face and hair with snow

Snow
I long to clear a path and lift a spade of snow
Snow
Oh, to see a great big man entirely made of snow
Where it's snowing
All winter through

That's where I want to be
Snowball throwing
That's what I'll do
How I'm longing to ski
Through the snow-oh-oh-oh-oh

Those glist'ning houses that seem to be built of snow
Snow
Oh, to see a mountain covered with a quilt of snow
What is Christmas with no snow
No white Christmas with no snow
Snow

I'll soon be there with snow
I'll wash my hair with snow
And with a spade of snow
I'll build a man that's made of snow
I'd love to stay up with you but I recommend a little shuteye

Go to sleep
And dream
Of snow

(Crosby).

Those are the lyrics from the movie White Christmas. The song is appropriatly titled "Snow." I love this time of year, just because of all the snow, plus when the radio stations play Christmas music. That also makes me happy. However, snow just makes the holidays so much better. My ideal Christmas would be that I would wake up to find that it had snowed in the six hours I had been asleep, since I go to church at midnight, and the roads would not be terrible, so we would be able to go sledding. I guess the thing I love about snow the most is how pretty and new it makes everything look. Right after it snows, everything looks brand new, and quite different. But after a day, footprints, car slush, and various animal tracks make the snow look just ugh. Definetly not a pretty sight after a couple of days of looking at brown snow. But once new snow falls, then everything looks pretty again. Therefore, I love everything about snow, especially a snow day! Cause regardless of having to make it up in the summer, no one can turn down a "free day" in the wintertime. For me, its the perfect time to cuddle up and watch White Christmas for the umpteenth time.

  2. White Christmas for the win! I love that movie/musical. I'm trying to convince Mr. Mason to do it next year for the musical. Anyway, I agree completely, especially with the midnight church service. Those are the best~! Nice job.
