Go to sleep and dream of snow

I think that there was a time in my life when I did love snow. I loved being able to go outside and play in it. Riding a snowmobile with my Dad. Snow Days were also a favorite thing of mine. But these days I am in hate with snow. The cold, wet nonsense that invades my life for so many months out of the year which turns into gross mush or ice that trips me up whilst walking. Walking around in the cold for such a long time in Illinois is just a little much. Chicago winters are not getting warmer my friends. Last year when I was home for the holidays there were some days wherein it was too cold to snow. Who knew that was even possible? While living California I got spoiled most definitely. Sun and fun in February, come on thats not going to be happening in Illinois.
Even though currently listing snow as one of my enemies, there are some positives things that do accompany snow. I do love the holidays and am excited for them to come. I love holiday movies. 'White Christmas' was and is one of my favorite movies. Christmas music is so fabulous and I have always found it lovely and inspiring. And now as I watch the snow from my apartment window and it covers the house tops and trees I find it looking so lovely and I can't help feeling a little happy.
