Sparkling Snow.

Nose is numb, fingertips icy.
You can see your breath every time you exhale.
Scarf wrapped up all the way over your mouth, boots keeping your feet warm.
Lights everywhere. Sparkling, as the snow that falls melts when it hits the light.
Crunching ice as you walk through the snow, holding hands with your sweetheart.
Christmas music playing in the distant, Nat King Cole serenading your ears.
Smell of apple spice, and carmel.
Restaurants dim with candle light, people inside laughing in warm navy blue sweaters eating pumpkin soup, glancing outside thankful to be indoors.
Everything glows, dim, warm, spirit filled. Something you can't grasp, yet it fills your entire body with delight.
Walking home, content, stomach filled with joy and love. Tis the season!!
