I love snow
Not to drive in
Just to look at
I love how it transforms everything
And the world is suddenly covered in innocence
And the cold stings your face
And warms your heart
And there are possibilities sparkling back at you
People in Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Don’t dream of a white Christmas
It’s pretty much guaranteed
But here in Modesto, California
Dreaming of a white Christmas
Could be considered a waste of time
I will invest in dreams of fog
A heavy dense fog that covers everything
And the whole city is transformed
The neighbor’s car parked on their lawn
Becomes shrouded in mystery
The canal seems like the magic river
That flows from Disneyland’s castle
Christmas lights sparkling through the fog
Beckon me to adventure
I walk and let the fog seep deeper into my brain
The pre-packaged Christmas present I bought off the shelf at Walmart
Is really someone’s perfect gift
The Christmas cookies and eggnog lattes
Really have no weight-watcher points
The extra high notes in the carols I am singing
Are automatically filled in by angel choirs
Wishing you a foggy and merry Christmas!
