[ WP ] Winter has arrived .

Snow covered the ground everywhere in a nice couple inch blanket, blinding those who laid their eyes upon it for the first time that morning. Making the world new and clean again. Almost perfect, the layer of snow seemed untouched as only the footsteps of those who woke up early could be seen. A sense of dread filled the adults as kids hurried to put on their winter clothes so they could go out and play. A childlike innocence that would soon be forgotten as they grew older, stopped making snow angels, stopped creating snowmen, and no longer enjoyed the cold taste of snow on their tongues. They would, however, discover some pain that winter brings as they stick their tongues to metal poles to be unable to remove them without getting somebody else involved, or hurting themselves. 
 
 To everyone, snow meant Christmas was coming and the expensive bills that came along with it. It meant the two weeks vacation from school and the snow hills that were an endless source of joy. It meant sandy, dirty streets. It meant snow days and longer nights. To the adults, it meant more stress as they try to carefully drive their car to get better tires, it meant car accidents galore. To the children, their winter wonderland and all of the magic that comes with it has returned for another six months.
