We had a White Christmas here in North Texas, the first one in 83 years. We had blizzard like conditions with blowing snow up to 30 mph and it was amazing. I have always dreamed of a White Christmas but didn’t realize the consequences it would bring. You see here in North Texas snow and ice pretty much shuts down everything including roads. We are not equipped to drive on ice.
I cooked all day Christmas Eve and then none of my family could make it to my house for the party. Luckily my Mom had came earlier in the day and was able to be with us. We had a very quiet Christmas Eve but the next day when the roads cleared the rest of the family made it over to the house and we were able to have a brief Christmas party. Christmas was a bit different this year with a few new faces and a few that couldn’t be here but life is about changes so we we adjust and go on.
Next year I believe I will think twice before I dream of a White Christmas.
