superstition

Christmas candles should be left burning until Christmas morning and should rest undisturbed from time of lighting until they are snuffed.

this morning we are having our first real, stick-to-your-ribs snowfall in my little town....it's fantastically and magically beautiful! and the flakes are big, fat, christmas flakes that float down and bring back your childhood memories of christmas!

when we were kids, my grandmother lived in reading, pennsylvania, and at christmas we had the good fortune to visit her, and, of course, hershey! talk about magical! that is one of my happiest childhood memories.

alas, by january i'll detest the snow and the impending months of winter left to endure....but for now, i'm in love!
