Now I have heard some people don't like the snow, or the pure fact that Christmas comes with winter, which brings permanent darkness. (That whole go to work in the dark, go home in it as well factor...) I don't buy it. what makes the ambience even better is the snow. It covers the ground creating a blanket of white, igniting a small nightlight if you will for the darkness. Have you ever noticed that before? Snow is a pretty sight to see! In the daylight under the sun, or a night under the moon, you are given a special treat of beauty that you don't get to see everyday. (Unless you live in Antarctica...) It's a sight and wonder of God's beauty. A reflection of His promise to make us clean. It comes with the very promise of Jesus. While not everyone gets that White Christmas, it's no wonder why people want it to be associated with Christmas. Snow and the darkness is the very symbol of Jesus to us. The soft glow of snow in the dark is like the hope that Jesus brings us. Even when you're cold in the darkness of your life, God sent His Son to provide us with a soft hope and light towards Him.
Now all of that was to simply say that snow is a key part of the ambience of Christmas. Now as all of my posts leave you, with songs to reflect upon and help get you into the mood of Christmas. Here are the tracks you should listen to to help bolster your own Christmas Spirit. Rosie Thomas - Snow Day, August Burns Red - Sleddin' Hill, and a two pack combo, both by Trans-Siberian Orchestra. First Snow and The Wisdom Of Snow.
