It's Beginning to Feel a Lot Like Christmas!

Sure, we haven't officially had Halloween yet and Thanksgiving is two weeks away, but today felt like Christmas to me:  snow all over the ground, the scent of wood burning, no school, a complete suspension of normal activities like meetings and classes, the whole family home doing things together.  Bud said he even awoke looking for Christmas presents!  The only thing missing was his practicing "Good King Wenceslas" on the piano over and over.
