It's snowing like crazy yet again. I have the Christmas tree lit and music playing. Later, Chris will be coming for gifts and brunch, if he can get here. Can you smell the bacon that I'll be cooking? The road crews have been busy already today; they know everyone will be out and about this morning.
Today's miserable weather reminds me very much of a funny part in Jane Austen's masterpiece, Emma, in which Mr. Woodhouse gets it into his mind to dine at the Weston's despite the snowy weather. I may just have to get my copy out today and re-read Chapters 13-15. You can read about it here: Jane Austen's Scrooge ends up not being the weather-obsessed curmudgeon Mr. Woodhouse. And, on the way home through the snow, the plucky but somewhat clueless Emma manages a difficult situation as she rebuffs a proposal from the very creepy Mr. Elton.
However you spend the day today, may you be surrounded by warm thoughts and memories. May the coming year bring you peace and happiness.
