Winter.
For people in Michigan it means bare trees,
frigid temperatures, ice, and snow.


  SNOW. Snow snow where did you go? People complain if we have a lot of snow and complain if we do not have any snow.  Is it time for Christmas? I am starting to realize how much snow factors in to many people's holiday spirit.
  I've heard people say lately that it doesn't "feel" like Christmas with bare grounds.  How to people in the warmer states such as Florida, California and Texas do it? They are used to a snow less holiday. If they experienced an unusually snowy Christmas, would they would prefer a snow less Christmas? Us Michiganders have been spoiled in to a flawless Christmas with ample amounts of fluffy white. It has me thinking, does people's spirit waver without that glistening blanket we know so well?
  Personally, I've always liked the snow. It makes wherever you are serene and radiant. It does seem less like Christmas without even a hint of snow.  I also feel like my holiday spirit is lower this year.  What do you think, for you, does snow directly correlate with the level of holiday spirit? 
Let's hope the no-snow factor doesn't trump Christmas overall. Just think, this is our year to see how warm states feel during the holidays. 
happy Christmas!
