Christmas Miracle
Warning: There are a lot of CAPITAL WORDS in this post. Please don’t judge. It is simply my way of telling you, the reader, that I AM EXCITED.
__
They called it off! They canceled school for the day! And they made the call at 5PM yesterday. Which has given me PLENTY of time to bounce around and up and down and all over the place with excitement. (Although, even if I had found out at 7AM this morning, I’d probably still be bouncin’ around like a child). It was just exciting that I knew – ahead of time – that I didn’t have to set my alarm.
As soon as I found out, I piled on the layers and waited anxiously for the first snowfall. And, in a matter of minutes, it started coming down. So, naturally, I rushed outside and ran around the block like a child. Wide-eyed and enamored by the white things falling from the sky. I also took a few selfies. Which I should probably be embarrassed of because I’m pretty sure I saw some neighbors glancing at me through their windows.
But I’m not even embarrassed.
Because, hello. I’m from California. This is a Christmas miracle.
Questions of the Day:
- Where was the last selfie you took?
- What are you doing this weekend?
Yay, how fun! We got snow last Monday and it has been snowing on and off ever since! Loving it!
Happy Friday xxx
Very fun! I’m from Massachusetts; it’s snowing here too; no snow day though.
I prefer sunny summer days to winter snow days, but the respite is lovely.
Enjoy your day!

ha! enjoy it – we’ve got a beautiful sunny day here – with snow on the ground from yesterday:-)
Woohoo, enjoy your snow day! I hope you get some rest.
I’m in Texas so we don’t have snow, but it is chilly.
That’s awesome for you. I grew up in NE Ohio, so I’ve definitely seen my share of the white stuff. Now they are calling for it here in Georgia too, which means all life will shut down! Enjoy your SNOW DAY! 🙂
Enjoy your day off! Love it when that happens 🙂
How exciting! It’s snowing here in Massachusetts too! Enjoy your first snow day! 🙂
Holidays are always awesome. Have fun and enjoy a lot.
Snow days are the BEST!! And it’s on a Friday so you have a long weekend! It doesn’t get much better than that! Have a great weekend!
It snowed in Ottawa (Canada) 15 cms on a Tuesday and another 10 three days later and they did not close schools. Life is hard in Canada
Yay!! So exciting. We got snow this week as well. Enjoy your day!

Yes to snow days! I love when they make the call early. My son has basketball games all weekend which should be fun.
How fun! We never have snow in Louisiana hahaha!
AWWW love that–get your selfie on! Who cares what the neighbors think? Ha! I love that you’re not jaded by the white stuff… we see snow here and it’s like, ‘MEH, another day.’ This post is a nice reminder that I need to connect with my childhood/childlike wonder 🙂
XOXO and happy weekend! Enjoy the snow.
That’s so exciting! We had a rare snowstorm last night in the desert where I live, too. It’s pretty magical when it’s so rare. Sadly, school was not cancelled.
Yayyy for snow days…stay warm and watch lots of Netflix!!!
Embarrassed? Nah. You enjoy it and don’t worry about what others think 😉
We used to live in New England and I miss the snow day but not dealing with all the snow for several months
Its snowing here right now and I am so annoyed meh! I usually wouldnt care but not today haha!
Is the baby shower tomorrow?!
YAY! Snow days are the best. My parents teach too. They had a snow day yesterday and another on today because it’s to cold for the buses to start. Crazy!
YAY!! Enjoy your first snow.
Your selfie is soo so so cute.
Please try and stay in and warm and bundled up.
Use up this extra day to catch up on your karaoke singing. hahahaha.
Love Ya. xoxo
Snow days are the best! And finding out the day before? And on a FRIDAY?!? Winning!
Seriously! We got lucky 🙂
So exciting!! Enjoy!! I’ve lived in PA all of my life and I’m pretty done with snow but I can see why it’d be exciting!! I’d like to move somewhere that doesnt see snow for a while!
Oh my gosh! How fun!!! We had snow today, but just a tiny bit. 🙂 Cute photo!
Lol aww how adorable.
I can imagine how exciting it was for you, and a day off to really enjoy it — a miracle indeed!
The unexpected plaesures are the best, I say. Enjoy the snow.
That is very exciting. I am from Ohio so snow days are no new thing for us. My girls do online school, so we don’t get snow days, but we can plan things around and still get time to play in the snow.
I’m glad you got the chance to enjoy some snow – I’m sure it’s a big deal for a California girl! I first saw snow when I was sixteen, and I left work to find that it had snowed. So of course, I rushed home to wake up my toddler niece and drag her outside to play with me. At about three in the morning.
Yay! I’m so glad you got to see snow! I live in an area where getting a lot of snow is incredibly common and I couldn’t imagine growing up without it! Yay!
Snow days are fun! I get excited too whenever it snows. Last selfie taken two days ago! Have a great snowy weekend.
Aw this is so cute! Love the picture and I’m glad you had so much fun on your day off!
Currently live in Southern California but, am from a place that had less rain even so, needless to say I did not grow up with snow nor even cool weather.
After coming to California I went to Minnesota for three winters in a row and LOVED it! I can see how those living in true winter conditions get tired of it though because at the opposite spectrum, we get tired of the heat and fire storms.
See you came back just in time! We haven’t gotten it quite yet but I know it’s coming. Just hovering in the air waiting to coming out.
I’m sure it was so fun since you are living in California. Since I’m in Chicago, I am not that excited about snow at all. 😀
Welcome to my life in Toronto. 🙂
Amazing it very rarely snows where we live. I’d be jumping up and down too.
Oh how absolutely wonderful! Enjoy the snowfall! I grew up in rural Eastern Canada where we used to get loads of snow, and now, where I live in Scotland there’s very little, so snow days are precious here too. 🙂
We don’t get snow days here but then again we are used to snow. Currently we have around 3 feet of snow maybe more.
Used to love snow days as a kid! School is closed was always exciting news
Lol. That is great that you got a “snow” day and actually get to see snow. I love fresh falling snow. Stay warm
Haha, you are funny! I love snow days even as an adult when I lived back home in Minnesota. They called off places even for freezing wind chill it was great! No school and sometimes even no work!
I moved back to Texas from Boston after living there for 6 years.. I am super jealous of your snow pictures! I miss the snow, but definitely not shoveling my car out! Loving the scarf!!!
How fun! Snow days are the best for kids AND adults!
I can’t remember where did I last took selfie, because selfies became part of my blogging job, lol.
This weekend will be busy for me, writing and crafting 🙂
Christmas Miracle indeed! I havent seen snow this year since I moved to UAE. However, I am from Canada, so I see snow pics plenty from family!! Hope you enjoyed the snow. Its great once in a while eh.
Awe you are ADORABLE! AND, I use capitalization when I’m excited too. High Five!
I live in Alberta, Canada so snow is part of our lives. I can understand your excitement though!
This is so exciting! I remember the story of how my parents first experienced snow!

Being from California as well, I definitely agree that this is a Christmas miracle! I would’ve reacted the same way you did honey!
I don’t do selfies! My daughter on the other hand does a new selfie on the hour. LOL
How exciting! I grew up with snow, and I still get excited. Everything is so still and quiet and beautiful!
Never took a selfie.
This weekend, my children had a robotics competition. And they qualified for state!
I honestly think it’s cute that you were very excited about the snow. It’s nice to be able to have break and just enjoy the snow outside too. I’m sure it was a lot of fun!
I live in California at the moment! I’m sure you had a lot of fun in the snow! It’s nice that you don’t have to worry about work even for just a day and just enjoy the snow!
Aw yay too fun to get snow! I wish we still got snow days at my work 🙁
Oh how I do wish we had had a snow day last week. I’d even love an off day just because it is FREEZING outside!
I loved snow days when I was in school. They were so rare. We still have some on the ground here but praying it melts today.
Getting to experience snow is really a warm feeling, as contrasting as it may sound. I remember mine when I was a kid, my cousin and I had chills because of spending too much time in the snow.
We have had such a nice winter up until 3 weeks ago in Minnesota. Today was like driving through a blizzard. Not a happy person here lol
Sounds like you had a great snow day. We haven’t even had snow, so no snow days for us! Although, we don’t have jobs.. So we have nowhere not to go.
Enjoy your snow day to the core and I am sure it is such an amazing feeling that you can cherish every moment of it. I hope you have lots of fun around to make the best of it!
I’m from Florida and I really miss the snow! I wish it could snow her for once!
That does sound like a miracle. Glad you enjoyed the snow.I have never seen snow fall 😕It must be amazing.
