flurries all around

i think that the holiday season has just recently hit me..granted, i still feel its kinda early so i'm glad it is hitting me sooner rather than not at all...but i just put up some twinklies around my room so the current ambience is quite jolly and i'm sure that is helping...the holidays are a time where we take time to find that "warm" feeling..i love that commercial for kohls..the one about why we do the same things every year out of love...its such a cute commercial. if it comes on the tv the next time your sitting there watching a program..give it a chance and dont flip the channel..take my word, you'll smile. but anyway--

last night i was involved in a holiday/christmas concert...it was nice and it went pretty well which is always a good thing..i dont really find myself getting into the holidays much...last year was really bad because i can honestly say that i didnt feel that "special joy" once..but alas, this year, i feel, will be different...i can already sense the season's cheery warmth =) after the concert, i looked outside the window and to my amazement, it was snowing! mind you, i am really not one for the winter/the snow for the obvious reasons the next person doesnt like them...but for some reason, last night's snowfall was simply beautiful! it didnt stick and it didnt last long but we had just finished singing about the season and then the snow happened and i swear to god it could not have been more perfectly timed...life's a darn movie sometimes, isnt it? i happened to get a chance to go outside before it stopped..something clicked for me on those few icy steps.. i'm not sure what it is or why i've decided to blog about it..but in my eyes, the simplicity of the snow was truly remarkable...it didnt need to blizzard to get its message across, that's for sure..i feel that way about people and how we go about our everyday lives, too...i mean, why try to blizzard when all you need is a few flurries to make your point??
