When Summer Came To Winter

December came; a little snow was on the ground a while, but then it never fell again! It was so strange, for on my lawn was Santa Claus, not looking very well there with his lit up reindeer and the sleigh. But rain came down. It wasn’t even cold! It washed all trace of any snow away. The sun peeked down and spilled its honey gold onto the fields and city streets below. My decorations looked so out of place. Without the snow, they lacked that special glow! Yet there was not a frown upon my face. It felt like California – and so warm I didn’t mind it lacked a Christmas charm! Written Aug. 27, 2017 True story!
