I absolutely love this time of year. Not only because my birthday is 8 days away or because Yule and Christmas follow, but more because of the sense of community.People aren’t yet tired of the snow; seemingly embracing a sense of cheer and play.
As I drove to work yesterday I watched some small children giggling and rolling down a snowy hill.
Another group of kids stood ontop of a 20 foot snow pile at the mall yelling at one another.
I watched others tossing snowballs.
Everyone was outdoors shoveling or blowing their laneways out.
The best part was watching neighbours gather at the end of their drives, hanging out socializing.
It ’tis the season.
Snow angels anyone?
