Well I few months ago I would have said that you can't beat summer, but I have to say, this winter thing isn't too bad either! Did you know that right around the time it starts to get really cold, that this man named Santa comes and brings all the good little boys and girls treats? How great is that? I really started to take a liking to the guy after reading Clifford's Christmas, but then one night we were outside when I heard firetruck sirens that started getting closer and closer. Next thing I knew the Fire Chief Truck (my absolute favorite) came driving into the neighborhood. While that would have been exciting enough for me, it was even more amazing because Santa was on the back! I was so excited I couldn't say a word! When I went to say 'hi' to him and get a candy cane (I told you the guy was great), all I could do was show him the Christmas tree I got (aka a pine tree branch I found where we got our big Christmas tree). He was pretty impressed, I'd say, since the candy cane was especially tasty!
Since I've proven to be such a big fan of the bearded guy, Mommy thought she'd take me to talk to him again. Everyone thought I might be afraid like last year, but I've really warmed up to him, and while at first I was a little overexcited and just ran around in circles, with a little coaching, I walked right up to him, sat in his lap, and told him that I really wanted a firetruck - a red one. The only time I fussed was when it was time to leave.
Between him and Frosty the Snowman (my other favorite guy), I really have to say, my feelings about winter might be changing. And the snow! We've actually already had quite a bit of it this year, and I love it! I end up drenched and freezing, but it doesn't bother me a bit. After all, I have discovered that after you play in the snow you get to indulge in "Hot Coke" (aka hot chocolate) and if that doesn't make you a snow lover-I don't know what will!
Kindest Regards,
