title: In Like a Lion (Always Winter) by Relient K

maaaaaad love for that song. anything referencing the chronicles of narnia deserve mad love though.

it's funny i was just listening to that song and i look out my window and the snow started to fall gently. as the song progressed and began to swell the snow fell harder and became wilder and blew every which way. i was elated.

snow brings out the kid in me. i can't get enough of sitting and watching it fall. listening to its silence. i'm not so crazy that i love it in march, don't get me wrong. winter gets old. but this time of year it's truly, and i know this is a rampant cliche, magical.

right now another christmas favorite is playing. Peace is Here by Jars of Clay. beautiful

i love christmas. i love everything it stands for. last year i wrote a blog on christmas eve about love. it is probably my second favorite thing i have ever composed (followed by another blog i've reposted many times). last year i had this great plan to write about certain things on the week leading up to christmas, but it didn't happen, and that was okay.

i hope i can get out in the snow soon and just walk. i haven't yet this season. i've had the best conversations walking in the snow. i've been kicked out a park in the snow (a wonderful way to end a date by the way XD), i've talked about signicance, i've talked about the future, i've talked about the past. all encompassed in the silence of the snow falling around me.

one of my favorite things kayla has ever said to me while staring at the sky, snow falling in her face:
"i feel so small and significant."

so complain about it if you must, but i love the snow. i think i'll go watch it some more now.

peace is here.
