Snow Day By BreAnn

Snow Day

Winter is my favorite season and it always has been.  I love the snow and the cold and the holidays.  It’s a magical time of year that has always filled my days with hope and wonder.  I get to see my family during the holidays and during the days that are too frigid to go outside I spend my time snuggled in a blanket by the fireplace with a good book.  There's just nothing I dislike about it.  One of my very favorite things however is snow days.  The very snow itself can just make my day. 

The snow fell softly on that cold winter day and I had opened my eyes to a soft, white light that came from the window beside my bed even though it was a weekday.  I smiled knowing what this meant and when I looked out my window my suspicions had been confirmed.  It was a snow day!  School had been canceled on account of the blizzard we’d had the night before.  I hurried out of my room and ate breakfast before heading next door to see my best friend Lacey.  After a bit of coaxing we bundled up and braved the cold as we played about in the snow having snowball fights and making forts.  The snow that day was great packing snow and easily held together for our use.  We stayed out for several hours running and rolling about in the snow long after our fingers grew numb.  It got later and colder however and we eventually had to make our way inside.  We were greeted by the warm smell of hot chocolate, courtesy of my mother, and after a cup of warm liquid and some dry clothes we were toasty and warm.  We ended the day sitting in the living room watching movies with a fire cackling away in my fireplace.  It was a perfect end to a perfect day.
