Right on time!

December 21st....Winter Solstice...shortest day of the year...first day of winter. I like this day because from here on out, the days get longer! Hooray for daylight! It was raining like crazy here earlier, then it started dumping these HUGE flakes!! Mostly gone now. Though I will say the ONLY time I LOVE snow is for Christmas.

Also, I HAD to share this photo my dad sent of my

nephew standing by their tree. My Dad had been receiving flack because he wasn't going to put up a tree for Daniel. I guess he had the last laugh! Or maybe I did! I just loved this photo! Not what I grew up with, but it's cute! I, to this day, think my parents always had the most beautiful Christmas trees!! I still don't know how they fit all the different types of light strands etc on there! You could hardly see the branches through all the glitz! It was fabulous!

Thanks guys for the holiday funny!
