Snow on snow…with cookies and carols and more snow…!

This time of year is perilous, I start singing Christmas carols, but can usually restrain myself somewhat until Thanksgiving, then it all falls apart.  This year I am not so fortunate.  A storm swept in, buried us in snow, and now our highs are in the single digits.  I am used to living in a freezer six months of the year but this is a bit depressing, it is November!  It started Sunday night, the storm and the carols…that verse in 'In the Bleak Midwinter' with 'snow on snow, snow on snow…'  I can't help myself…but then I need something to do while I shovel!  Viva La Christmas!  But then snowstorms also put me in a baking mood which can be dangerous to one's waistline if one did not have shoveling to counteract it…bring on the cookies too!
