"Dreamin of a White Christmas.." - by Kristy

With much of the east coast being covered in a blizzard last week I thought it would be a good idea to look at the happy side of snow.

While most people dread snow storms, I know I sure do, think back to when you were a kid. Think back to when snow was just the coolest thing. Adults moan and groan when they have to scrap their car in the morning and worry about their morning commute, but children's eyes light up when they see the snow. To them it's a beautiful sight. Snow days, snow men, snow ball fights, snow angels. How about sledding? Hot chocolate? What about skiing and snowboarding? There are endless opportunities for fun.

As adults, if we dig deep, I'm sure we can find the optimistic view of snow.

Here are a couple opinions courtesy of Yahoo! Answers:
Question- "What do you like about snow?"

"Sledding, NO SCHOOL, snowmen, the softness before it turns to ice, slipperyness, going back inside after being cold outside, the way it makes everything look cleaner, the way you can see the snowflakes in the light of the streetlights, and of course snowball fights with sis and friends."

"I find it stimulating. I always feels refreshed whenever I see or walk in snow."

"I love how romantic it can be, especially when you go for walks in it."


Hopefully this post helps remind you that snow isn't terrible & can be a lot of fun. Even if you don't enjoy it, think of the millions of children who find joy playing in it.

  2. The moral police of the society argue that the unprecedented success of Generic Viagra is not the result of an eye-popping scientific and medical breakthrough, Viagra is a culmination of the media indoctrination on the male sexual gratification. Rather than portraying Cialis as a drug exclusively for erectile dysfunction, a medical condition that may be either physical or psychological, the promos spin a different yarn.
