One of the first questions in the minds of many this time of year. The likelyhood of a white Christmas here at my house is slim to none, but the question still runs through my mind at some point every year. I suppose you could say the theme song for many of us here in the south this time of the year is Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas” because that’s as close as we get to having one most years.
The thought of that song brings back memories of Christmas shopping with my parents in an upscale department store as a child. As the song played over the store’s speakers and filled everyone’s thoughts with visions of a white Christmas, I was gazing at the display of record players. I was lost in my own dreams of finding one under the tree Christmas morning along with a selection of new albums filled with music of the time. That year my dream did come true, too.
I’m curious…what does the song make you think about?

Angela,
I was thinking the same thing but we had what looked like some flurries early this morning in NC. Now, at the hour I got up, my vision could’ve easily been blurred so maybe it was just “wishful thinking!”

Ah, Bev, you’re closer to a white Christmas than I am then. Looking out my window at blue, sunny skies shining down on trees almost barren and rising from a ground that has now turned brown with leaf cover.
One good thing, I can also see two gray squirrels rushing around collecting hickory nuts for their winter stash.
