its halloween, not christmas!

You know when you walk into a department store and its the first day of October and they have Christmas decoration before Thanksgiving? Or even halloween?
Weeellll, not that I don't adore Christmas, but c'mon, what happened to all the ghosts, witches and pumpkins? Oh yeah, they got rid of those right after Easter ;)

But today I was in the Christmas spirit. Was it the fact that the shops were all decked in red and green tinsel? Was it the fact that they had holiday specials? No, it was the fact that this morning when a sleepily looked out my window, I saw snow on our neighbor's rooftop. For real.
I was suddenly wide awake. I pulled on some sweatpants and a sweatshirt and grabbed my camera. As I stepped out the door and the cold air hit me, I never wanted Christmas to came more.







As I type this, the snow is melting rapidly. It was definitely nice while it lasted, but now we have to endure the mucky slush that comes after the soft white crystals.

Have you had your first snow yet?

    lucky! we actually haven't had our first snow yet here in BC! we normally get some snow in November, but I'm hoping it will come a little sooner than that! ;)

    Can't say I'm looking forward to my "first snow" that much, enjoying those, very few, last weeks of fall is more like it. Problem with snow up north is that once it starts falling in late November, it doesn't melt until April. :P Last year we had small snowfalls even through May. *sigh* I hate long winters...

    Oh, I love it. And it makes me want snow even more. Here in Hawaii, unfortunately we have a shortage of snow. Beautiful though.

    Yeah, this is probably the only time ever that the east coast is going to get snow before we do.....
