Today, my kids got all excited when we got our first snowfall for this winter. As we watched the white, cotton like flakes falling from the sky, we couldn't help but be mesmerized and awed. Christmas is here!
Winter is met with varied reactions - kids look at it as the time for fun and play.... winter angels (i just learned that you do this by laying on thick snow and flapping your arms so that you will create wing forms like an angel, cool huh?).... snowmen (who would ever forget Frosty?)... snowball fights... ice skiing... but for the old folks, this is the time when they will feel their age really bad - depression due to the extreme coldness and inconvenience of being snowed in, attacks of cold weather illnesses...
Snow, like any other experiences in our lives, can make us happy or sad - it depends however we choose it to be. Snow is a time when we can enjoy indoor bonding activities with the family. Pull out your cookbooks and try that sumptuous pastries you've been wanting to bake. Get the kids together and play those indoor games that havent been touched for ages. Find DVDs of movies that you've been wanting to watch with the family or invite your buddies over. When was the last time you visited your social networks? Now you've got more time to post your comments or upload pictures in your Facebook account!
Hmmmm... before you know it, Christmas is here and winter has passed... and you have made the most out of it... your cooking skills improved... you spent quality and fun time with your family... you have done more relaxing indoor activities and well... you simply feel good!
