I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

I have to dream because it's never going to happen here. I laughed out loud when I read Carissa's blog about the nice weather. Just yesterday I emailed Anna in great distress over our lack of snow. It has been making me so sad lately because everything is all brown and slushy. I like the clean, white snow and the crisp, clean weather. I asked her, "How far north does a person have to live in order to get a white Christmas?!" Evidently, Colorado or western Kansas or Nebraska is far enough. But not North Dakota! What's wrong with the weather around here?! Darn El Nino. So I'm sorry Carissa, but you can go to Tennessee where it's nice and beautiful and warm. And I'll stay here where it's nice and beautiful and warm. But I'll still dream of some Christmas snow.
