Winter

The first snow has fallen. It was merely a dusting, yet, for me, snow has always marked the beginning of winter. In the morning on my walk to school all is dark, however if I focus I can make out the frosted trees on the mountain top. This week I started to become cold, I am used to a harsh climate, yet there is a point where wearing toms (a type of shoe, click here for a picture) to school. I gave in and purchased a nice pair of snow boots that will keep me warm and dry the whole winter season. A long with the first snow, the winter decorations in our house went up. The windows are sparkling with snowflakes. Snowmen and other winter creatures fill the nooks and crannies. My room is decorated with santa clauses, snowmen and snowflakes on the windows. I even bought a garland to hang around my mirror. I am excited for the holidays and wish all of you in the US a happy Thanksgiving next week.
