This autumn has been incredibly warm and beautiful this year - the trees in my back yard are still half full of gorgeous bright yellow leaves - but that will end on Monday. Weather.com predicts 100% chance of rain. When they say 100%, you know it's going to rain HARD.
And in the mountains that rise less than half a mile from my house...snow.
When that happens, it will be time to begin reviving the Christmas spirit! You remember - that warm, happy feeling that makes slippery, snowy, cold streets beautiful instead of just inconvenient. That makes you want to visit friends and family and have them over instead of just staying inside where it's warm and cozy and hibernating all winter long.
And there's no better way to begin that by curling up next to a fire with a heavy blanket wrapped around your shoulders and your favorite of inspiring, engaging Christmas books in your hands as the clock ticks the long winter night away.
Come Monday, maybe that's where I'll be.
