In 2010, we had a White Christmas in the Atlanta area for the first time in my lifetime, and I believe it was the first White Christmas in our area since the 1930s. My point is that we don't get a White Christmas here very often. It was quite amazing and definitely was almost "magical". Today's Christmas song turns back to the secular nature in Bing Crosby's classic "White Christmas". I do love it cold for about 6 weeks out of the year. The time from Thanksgiving to new Year's, then I'm ready for warm weather. I've been part of snowy Christmas days before when I visited my Grandparents in Pennsylvania. In 2010, I finally experienced that here at home and it felt different when it happens at your own house. I see why so many songs are about sleigh rides, snowy days and winter wonderlands. It is almost magical when it all comes together.
On a side note, isn't it ironic that Bing sings about a "White Christmas" and a Hawaiian Christmas on the same album? I hope you enjoy this song today.
Merry Christmas!
