Snow!


A few days before Christmas, I watched one of my favorite movies, "White Christmas", starring Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney. The best song in the movie is "Snow", which is repeated many times throughout the show.


Yesterday, we had a snowstorm that kept many of us at home in the morning--it was a quick snowfall that dumped about five inches of snow in just a few hours, slowing traffic and disrupting this quiet week between Christmas and New Year. It brought to mind the song lyrics which had been running through my head all week.


"Snow--It won't be long before we'll all be there with snow

Snow--I want to wash my hands, my face and hair with snow

Snow--I long to clear a path and lift a spade of snow

Snow!

Oh, to see a great big man entirely made of snow

Where it's snowing

All winter through

That's where I want to be

Snowball throwing

That's what I'll do."
