White Christmas!

It's going to be a white Christmas here! We've already had one blizzard, and below zero winds, and now we've got a whopper of a storm already in progress, and it's supposed to drop about a foot of snow here before it's done (it's starting with ice and wind and ugliness/freezing fog).

Now, the Iowa (and Minnesota) weather is interfering with Christmas! I'm a big chicken when it comes to driving in bad weather (or the threat of it!), so I'm only disappointed about the togetherness time, not that people will be safe and warm inside their own houses. I love to watch people open their gifts and discuss what ideas motivated which gifts!

Of course, the food (and my mom's homemade candy dish) won't be quite the same at home, either, but we'll be safe and thankful for the other times we can gather together (like waiting till Easter?).
