Writing to Winter: December 26th

Dear Winter,

The calm after the storm. That's what you're left with on Boxing Day. You've had a busy day, a couple of family tiffs, a little bit too much to eat and a lot of fun but you're left with a mess. The living room around here still looks like a bomb has hit it and given out presents because no one wants to move their gifts; it'd make them think it's over! 

But the calm after the storm is the best bit! You get to think about all of the great things you've just done and appreciate the memories you've made; spend more time with your family and friends before normality kicks back it. Because it will, oh it will Winter. 

And you brought us our first snow today Winter. At first I thought the few flakes weren't enough to stick or have any impact but the brief twenty minutes of snow we had did manage to stick leaving us with a soft blanket of white. It created such a nice atmosphere for a while but (unfortunately) you'd pretty much taken it away by the morning.

Keep smiling,
Kathryn x
