white christmas

Like everyone else, I’ve always dreamed of a white Christmas. Little did I know that I would get my wish like this. We were visiting Tricia’s Dad in the Rio Grande Valley, the southernmost tip of Texas, and woke up on Christmas Day to the first snow there since 1895. And the first recorded white Christmas ever! About three inches where we were, but much heavier a little further north.

    I saw your comment at my place about your white Christmas and I just smiled. What a nice treat for all of you and hopefully the driving wasn’t a problem.

    Hi Bill, Thanks for stopping by and commenting at my place. We had hoped for a white Christmas in Houston, as my one- and three-year-old nephews had never before seen snow. I was amazed to see the newspaper photos of snowmen on the beaches at Galveston and Corpus Christi. I’m glad you got a white Christmas.
