...to look a lot like christmas, though much more unusual.today it snowed. the tiniest, slowest snowflakes i have ever seen. but when i saw them from my window i squealed and did an awkward happysnowdance. my own little ceremony.
we took a long time walking home from the school today, catching snowflakes on our sleeves and inspecting every one. and after lunch we decorated the christmas tree.
but isn't that supposed to be a family project? my christmas tree memories are warmfuzzy family scenes, tramping around tree farms and digging through boxes of old ornaments together and listening to the vince guaraldi trio and the nylons. in general, i think the family i work for is wonderful and loving and functional, but today i felt a little sad. after the kids left for school, mom and dad dragged a little tree into the room and left me with a box of ornaments and a string of lights. it took the kids just a few minutes after school to bury our charlie brown tree in origami stars.
i'm missing y'all today, and i hope your trees are beautiful.
