I am not a fan of winter. Yet, I look forward to snow days. I look forward to them because I am grateful to have more time with my children. We always seem to find something fun to do on snow days. I also like the lights. I love driving around with the kids looking at Christmas lights. It was one of my favorite things to do even as a child. Where I grew up, they used to decorate City Hall like a castle. I loved driving by it after dark. Now, I love taking my kids through the center of town to see the tree and the stores all lit up. There's just something magical about the lights. (My disclaimer is that the lights are just as pretty in Florida where it's a whole lot warmer...)
