Let It Snow

So I got out of bed, 

made my bed and carried on with the everyday morning ritual; dragging my feet to the bathroom, groaning as I with as little effort as possible pulled the brush through my hair a few times to look reasonably presentable, got dressed, and all that jazz. 

Then, as I was ready to go on to the next stage (namely: to the kitchen), I turned around briefly as I had forgotten my slippers, and that’s when I first saw it. 

There was something white outside my window – and not only that, there was lots of it, and some of it was moving around. 

Not really daring to believe what my brain – with a split second of reasoning –concluded was going on I briskly walked to the window to prove myself wrong. Only to discover I was very much right. It. Was. Snowing! 

I who had finally decided that this place only had three seasons; spring, summer autumn, and now it was suddenly snowing! 

Putting on my winter boots for the first time this year I walked from home ten minutes earlier than normal as I just couldn’t stay inside for any longer. Santa hat on my head and gloves on my hands, I met a few of my classmates outside, and together we walked through this winter wonderland with cheer and grins. 

Not everyone shared our joy though, which I guess is fair enough – heck, I don’t normally like snow. Or the cold. Yet now I find myself longing to get home to a white scenery and some proper minus degrees. It’s hard getting into the Christmas spirit without snow, even for all the Christmas music I listen to and my Santa hat, which I’ve been wearing every day since the 1^st of the December. 

Sadly, the snow was gone by the time we hit lunch break, but it was definitely better than nothing, and I shall treasure the memory forever.  

(This actually happened yesterday, the 5^th of December. I wrote it, but forgot to post it. The church is where most of our lessons take place).
