We have lived here almost 10 years and this is our second snowfall. I missed the first one. It was snowing on Christmas Eve 4 years ago. I was on my way home from Albany, NY and was stuck in Atlanta's ever-crowded airport. Our flight crew was trying to get to Atlanta from Cleveland and was snowed in there. So, our plane- ful of people sat and tried to emulate a little bit of Christmas spirit by trying to not get too disagreeable with the situation. Then my cell phone rang. It was my hubby. He had taken the kids to Wendy's for a yummy homemade Christmas Eve feast and while they were there it had started to snow. Christmas Eve magic. I spoke loudly back into my phone, "WHAT?!? It's snowing in Houston??" About 200 pairs of eyes were on me and everyone waiting at my gate repeated like a chorus, "It's snowing in Houston?" I wanted to laugh and crawl under my seat all at the same time. They all pulled out their cell phones to verify. Silly people.
Today, I was walking Benj home from school when the thick white stuff started coming down all around us. It was magical. All the kids walking home from school started yelling the obvious, "It's snowing!!" We all danced around and tried to catch the stuff in our mouths. I pulled out my cell phone and called my hubby, "Look out your window! It's snowing!"
