It's going to snow tonight in NYC. Can't wait!! Even if we receive a mere inch, I'm gonna struggle into my dusty boots and stagger around the park in childlike awe...
This is my favorite time of year (and not just because my birthday is on December 20th). It feels celebratory from the first suggestions of Thanksgiving - it's a time of wandering about the city, flush with payday cash, and pressing one's nose against all the cold, twinkling windows, wondering which goodies might elicit unfettered joy from their recipients.
My dad used to take me for walks when I was little. One winter he said, "smell the air...it's smells like snow is coming". Sure enough, snow covered our town the next morning. Now that scent is faintly detected above the streets of New York. Sugar-white as angel's baby powder, snow will soften the unforgiving pillars of stone once again.
"Silver bells, silver bells..." oh, I am so, so goofy this time of year!
