Enjoying the White Christmas

Musing about snow in December in Wisconsin:

Across the Fence: Nothing wrong with a little snow by Howard Sherpe - Jackson County Chronicle

“Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful, and since we’ve no place to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!”

Lyricist Sammy Cahn and composer Jule Styne created that wonderful Christmas song in 1945, when I was 1 year old. I was singing along with it last week in the car, as winter finally arrived after staying away through November. We usually have several inches of the white stuff on the ground by the time December arrives. Full Story

We at BuyWisconsinLand.com want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a safe and joyous Holiday Season.
