About a week ago or so as I was drowning out the chatter in car 2404 on the westbound train to Union, a Christmas song took its turn on my iPod. Since it was a great song by the TSO (that’s the Trans-Siberian Orchestra not the Toronto Symphony Orchestra) I decided to give it a go but after a few short bars the song was skipped. The weather was a balmy 8C that morning and the sun was shining.
Fast forward to this morning. A cold, dark, dreary morning that didn’t start getting light until I was halfway to work, a light that was enhanced by the bright white snow covering the ground. Another great Christmas song from the Trans-Siberian Orchestra played on my iPod and this time it got a full listen even though it was inferior to the song I skipped only a short time ago.
I could say that my change in attitude came from the fact that Christmas is steadily getting closer; or maybe because my sister keeps talking about finishing her Christmas shopping; or maybe even because of the really bad Christmas commercials that have invaded my cathode ray tube (maybe Santa can fix my lack of an LCD). I could use any of those reasons but it would be a lie. The real reason for my attitude change is the white gold that fell through the night and the cold temperatures that helped it get here. I just wish I could be listening to that music drinking a hot chocolate whilst sitting in front of a fire…

Snow does make it feel more like Christmastime. Hopefully it sticks around long enough for us to do our baking while feeling festive.
