Recently my wife and I watched a Christmas movie about a small town in Vermont which took place on Christmas week. In almost every scene it was snowing. All my life I have seen movies and television shows where it snowed on Christmas Day.
Growing up in New Jersey and being Jewish, I never recall seeing it snow on Christmas. My wife and I lived in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for the past seven years and it definitely did not snow on Christmas. We went to the beach once or twice on Christmas.
Moving to Colorado this past year, I was looking forward to seeing it snow on Christmas Day. Did it happen? No, the high was sixty-seven degrees; no chance this year.
But wait, our plans to get together with our son, daughter-in-law, granddaughter, and daughter and son-in-law, were pushed back due to several of us being under the weather.
It was a snowy early Sunday morning a few days later and I tried to get a picture of some snow coming from my office window. I'm not sure you can see it. There were some spots on my computer screen, but when I tried to clean off the white spots, some of them did fall down.
I'm not sure I have good proof that I saw snow falling on the day we celebrated Christmas, but I did go out to shovel and I found about a dusting or an inch in the front. We have turf in the back and since our dog uses the grass daily, sometimes hourly to pea and poop on, I shoveled about two inches from the backyard for him. Here's my proof that is snowed on "OUR Christmas Day." What year will it happen on December 25th?
