1. Build a roaring good fire. Use it to toast cold toes and roast potatoes for dinner.
2. Read out loud to your family for nearly six hours. Find yourself wishing that your tea kettle would fit in the fireplace.
3. Play shadow charades or….
…put on shadow performances of “Once There Was a Snowman”.
Tell me, does this shadow make me look fat? [insert placating lie here] Whew, thanks.
4. Snuggle.
5. And when the novelty wears off, just go to bed. Oh my! Is it eight-thirty already? YAWN.
Our power came back on sometime in the night. We were lucky, there are many that are now going on two or even three days without.

They are calling for more snow tomorrow.
With the exception of three years in Maryland, I have lived here my whole life. I’ve never seen anything like this. Incredible.
It looks like it will be a white Christmas this year.
My gift to you? I promise not to blog about the weather anymore.
Unless I really feel like it.
You’re welcome.
WOW!!! Those photos! I love the one by the fire….looks like you made the best of it too! Merry Christmas :0)
