It was Richard's first First Snow, and as he's the first one I've initiated into the mysteries of First Snow in over 20 years, it was fun to hear his toasts. His toasts addressed very concrete realities of our political and social environment, which is not surprising, given his Master's degree in History. My toasts addressed more creative/mystical/connectedness themes (those of you who have ever known me, your ears should be burning!)
While Richard poured the last sip of the Irish coffee out into the snow, I followed him out with a snowball in my hands and pelted him with it. I guess we have a new part to the tradition :)

Merry Christmas, Joyous Yule, Happy Hanukkah (late, right?), Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Birthday to all you Christmas babies. Can you say "Happy Festivus", or is that a contradiction of terms? Happy Holidays to all.
As always, I invite you to write back. If you want to do so by Twitter, I'm lleachie on Twitter. I'm also lleachie on Instagram.
Let there be peace on Earth.
