Journal #22

I really like snow.  It causes me great joy.  Why do I like snow you ask?  There are many reasons.  One of the reason that I like snow is because of all of the things you can create with it, such as snow men, snowballs, snow angels, etc.  I love getting all of my snow gear our of our basement and navigating my way through all of the dust and such to find my things.  That reminds me I need to get a new pair of boots...I will get on that sometime.  I love going outside with my friends and family and traipsing around in the fluffy white stuff.  Something I really hate about snow is the aftermath it always creates.   I HATE when snow melts and is all brown and gross.  I do not like it one bit.  It causes me great angst.  That is one of the very few downsides that it has.  Another upside it has is of course the snow days it creates.  I LOVE SNOW DAYS.  Why I love snow days:  I can miss school and do not have to worry about making up all the work I missed because everyone else, including the teacher, missed that day (or days), too!  It is simply wonderful.  I also like snow because it always makes make me think of Christmas!  Why do I like Christmas?  My entire family is home at that time!  My two oldest brother's live out of the state so I only see them on Holiday's.  My second oldest brother is attending college and recently got a job so he has crazy crazy hours.  Because of his crazy crazy hours he missed Thanksgiving this year and I haven't seen him since around October 30th.  My oldest brother lives in Texas and I haven't seen him since the beginning of October.  This causes me great angst because they are two of the most important people in my life.  I want them back.  They will both be back for Christmas.  Snow makes me think of Christmas.
