Ho, ho, ho!

Well, it's officially two months until Christmas now . . . not that anybody's counting LOL I absolutely LOVE Christmas - it's my all-time favourite holiday (well, tied with my birthday, 'cause birthdays are fun). I really enjoy buying gifts for people, and who doesn't enjoy getting gifts? Scrooge, maybe.

How fitting, then, that today was our first official snowfall. When I got up this morning, there was a dusting of snow on the ground. Maybe 1cm, if that much. I don't know how long it'll stay, what with the sun shining down on it. The dogs were pretty frisky, especially Jack, who doesn't really have snow experience. He ran around like a fool, trying to figure out this white stuff that was sticking to his feet. Grace, ever the princess, tried to convince me that her feet were cold (at -5? I don't think so) and Farley just went on his business as usual.

The neighborhood kids are having a blast, trying to throw snowballs and build snowmen. It'll be a while until we have enough snow for that (Mother Nature willing, of course), but it's fun to watch anyhow.
