A Winter Wonderland Just in Time for Christmas Memories

I started this post out as a remembering of childhood christmas's of my past and then after writing for close to two hours, as I was formatting it for the blog...I lost the entire thing.



So maybe I will try next year. There was a lot of good stuff there, at least for me. Oh well.



So it snowed today and there is sppsed to be a bit more on tuesday......if it stays cold enough maybe we here in Wisconsin will have a "white christmas". I sure hope so. I was talking to some guests at the hotel that I work at the other day and we were remembering how much snow there USED to be back in the 70s.....when I was just a wee lad. There was so much snow that if I stood in the driveway between the sidewalk and the street, I couldnt see anything except those two big mounds of snow on either side of me....plus the house across the street. Snow caves and tunnels were common as well as playing king of the hill. There were more than enough hills for everyone to be a king....that is for sure. I remember one really big hill in the old IGA parking lot where the snow trucks would dump all the snow after plowing the lots. Man that thing had to be 30 feet high. We even tried sledding down it with these little round plastic thingys...kind of like an upside down plate.....and they seemed to always be either blue or red. That was always so much fun.



Well only a few more days till christmas and I have just only begun my shopping. I am always last minute.....I always say I am going to start early and always have good intentions but then all of a sudden Dec. 25th just sneeks up on me....I think its a "trick of time or something"!!



One more day of work untill I have a few days off where I can finally get my shopping done.



And then the New Year is just around the corner...where does the time go???
