Warmth

Day 86--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yay! The snow has been melting all day! I even went outside without a long sleeve undershirt and two jackets, just a t-shirt (which is really over exaggerating how warm it was outside, but I was too excited to care).  Only sad thing is that our warmth is to be short-lived. I heard that a storm is supposed to come in and it's supposed to snow from this friday to next. Whoop-dee-doo, I'm so excited (hear the sarcasm? ...Well, no, I guess you can't because it's in writing but you get the idea).


So Daddy sent me something in the mail... still waiting for it. He wouldn't tell me what it was, must be a surprise. Must be a Christmas present. I love Christmas! I love the lights and the songs and the bells. I love the colors and the eggnog and the cookies. I love warm fires and cocoa. Oh, I can't wait to come home! I can't wait to smell my living room and pet my dog, Harry Potter (yes, my dog's name is named after a wizard), and cuddle with my cat, Ivy. Our ancient cat, Kitty, who is more of an expensive couch pillow we pick up after than a cat, likes to meow when her food bowl get's low. Harry likes to bark at anything with legs. Both used to drive me crazy, but now I can't wait to hear them again. I want to smell mud and pine on my clothes. I want to see green things, not this awful brown which is now an endless white.

I'm dreaming of a green Christmas.
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the tree tops stay green,
And children are listening
To hear the raindrops overflow

I'm dreaming of a green Christmas,
With every blog post that I write
May your days be merry and bright.
Please don't this Christmas be white.
