seasonal appropriateness
Dec 6th, 2007
Winter came right on schedule with December. In fact, it started snowing on the Evening of December 2nd, just as the Advent Procession was finishing up at church. Advent isn't Christmas, sure (however much folks these days may think it is) but a nice "White Advent" is just as nice. The only problem with the snow and cold weather is that the school administrators don't seem to know what to do with it. First they canceled school on Monday, with only two inches of snow on the ground, and since then they haven't let the little children play outside in the snow. The first snow of the year, and it's all indoor recess, all the time. It's too cold out, they say. It's going to be a long winter!
