We have snow! Not much and it'll be gone in a couple days. But at least it feels like the wreath actually belongs in the door now.
Some of my favorite xmas season things:
*eggnog in my coffee instead of milk
*eggnog and spiced rum
*smell of pine (I took that smell for granted all those years in western PA)
*Griswald-like light displays (except not on MY house)
*peppermint candy canes
*St. Nicholas tradition passed down to my own kids
*baking cookies & stollen
*actually having an opportunity to wear long sleeves
*midnight mass
*advent calendar (the kind w/ chocolate)(or the kind you hang in the window & the sun shines through the tissue paper behind the little doors)
*crushing thin, brittle layers of ice on the street or sidewalk
*snow that looks like cookie dough -not too dirty, neither too wet nor too dry
*ice on tree branches & snow sparkling in predawn headlights
