Christmas Cards Lie!
by Todd Tannehill on 12/30/13
Every year we get these great little cards showing clean
fresh snow blanketing the ground on Christmas Eve. Commercials of a flannel
shirted man and woman drinking hot coco as they watch the snow fall softly
outside. I call a flag on the play!
While this is a very nice picture it is so far off the
reality of winter. As a child I remember
snow being fun, white, and short lived.
It was the one thing that could give you a few days off in January. Today however it is none of this.
Where is the card showing the man cleaning the dirty snow
burgs from the garage because they fell of the car? Where is the relentless shoveling until
March? Lastly, for people like me, where
is the cancelled and delayed flight board on a nice holiday greeting? There is none! Just fluffy white non-tragic and non-shovel
type snow that falls on cue.
As you can see I am really looking forward to the next couple months…
