My 6-year-old kindergartener started singing this song yesterday as the snow started to accumulate on the ground. I love snow. It is so pretty and it is quiet! I love being outside during a heavy snow fall or right after a large dump of snow when no one is on the roads. Everything is so peaceful. Add the Christmas lights to all of this and it is hard to be in a bad mood. Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I am not religious but to me, Christmas is a time for family and friends and reaching out to those who are less fortunate than us. At this time of year, the little things we do can make a huge difference to families in need. I hope all of you are in a position to help in some way.
Yesterday’s weather was miserable. Light snow and howling gales. So imagine my surprise when I agreed to go for a run with one of my friends! I even paid a babysitter to watch the kids so I could do this. It was one of the best runs I have done since returning to running after my surgery. We knocked off 5 miles in under an hour. No records broken but I cannot begin to tell you how great I felt afterwards. And of course, this earned me quite a few Weight Watchers points 🙂 I love that I can buy points by exercising. I hear Tony Horton calling my name today. I don’t imagine the trails are runnable today.
Again I have two questions. What do you do to help those in need at Christmas?
Who else braved the elements to get in a little exercise and what did you do?

I love it when it snows, and oddly I always get slightly sad when it stops! We are supposed to get snow on Christmas Eve and Day– woohoo!
