There is something magical about a first snow. At least for me there always is. Just the fact that the world can completely change its appearance overnight, showing a new fresh side of itself in a few short hours, is a message of hope for us all. As a child I couldn't wait to go outside and play in it. As a more subdued adult, a crisp winter walk followed by a cozy hour of coffee and reading brings me such contentedness. With every snowy season I renew my secret wish: to be snowed in for a day with loved ones. And, the day after our first snow, it happened! The roads were too slippery to go anywhere, so we had a day of snow, candles and hot chocolate.

Seeing these photos makes me feel all warm, fuzzy and christmassy inside. I too now secretly wish for a snow day. Over here we haven't seen snow for a few weeks, but instead are 'enjoying' rain and 3 Degrees. I'm not complaining, but truly your forest looks much more picturesque, and I feel like drinking a hot chocolate, but it doesn't seem justifiable when it's not even below Zero outside.
I will say though the other morning the minor cold brought a layer of frost that covered everything making it all look quite pretty.
It seems that frost covered mornings and snow covered days cause us to look at the world with a new perspective. Somehow the simple becomes more beautiful and a new appreciation of the everyday is formed.
