The Weather Outside Is Frightful by Leada Wood

The weather outside is frightful but the fire is so delightful…let it snow…let it snow…let it snow! I bet you just sang those word in your head didn’t you? 
This beloved Christmas carol echoes the sentiments during this snuggle up and be cozy time of year. The  days are gray and short and although it is warm and cozy inside it can be quite the opposite outdoors. 
We don’t get much snow around my part of the world but I do love to watch it snow and cover the earth in a blanket of white. Nothing is more peaceful and calm than waking to a winter wonderland.Not much of a chance of building snowmen so I enjoy painting them instead.

“O the snow, the beautiful snow, 
Filling the sky and the earth below.
Over the housetops, over the street,
Over the heads of the people you meet,
Dancing…Flirting…Skimming along,
Beautiful snow, it can do nothing wrong.”
—John Whittaker Watson
