A Special Day
In The Making
A chill runs through the air and I feel myself begin to condense, as do my companions. I watch them with envy as they begin their descent and have the honour of heralding the season that humans call winter.
So I watch in jealousy as my peers bring cheer upon the world below, while they paint it in a crisp pearly white hue. They create a chilly blanket that covers all the surfaces within my field of vision and I smile at the snowy perfection they have the privilege of creating.
I watch as animals and humans alike frolic in the newly christened snowy landscape. Small children dangle their tongues down to their chins to catch a few of my peers with a giggle of joy.
Finally, the day I have been waiting for arrives.
Golden rays of sunlight crest over the horizon and make my earthbound comrades sparkle in the breathtaking light. I admire them as my descent begins and I grow closer to joining my companions in this glorious, snowy landscape.
As I near the earthβs surface, the sound of church bells begins to ring. Voices sing a joyous hymn that floats through the air on the breeze that carries me to the nearest tree branch. As I come to rest upon it I can see round smiling faces pressed against the misty windows of a nearby house. In the background, I see a tree adorned with colourful lights that sparkle and fill my heart with Christmas cheer.

Sweet story, Donna! Have you tapped into your softer side? What happened to the murder mystery lady? Just kidding!
